What about:
	The version number of a previously uploaded package must be 
	incremented on every change in one of the md5sums listed in 
	the .changes file, even in absence of other modifications to 
	the package's contents.

or:
	After a package has been uploaded (even if not installed), you
	must always increment the debian version number before uploading
	it again if any of the md5sums in the .changes file has changed.
