The process would be something like: why not call the cvs alsa 0.5.x libasound0.5-cvs and libasound0.5-dev-cvs. There will almost certainly be a alsa version 0.5.0 so the best thing imho is either not upload libasound0.5 or call it cvs so it won't require the future renumbering. Chris Also can you look into the compile problem with alsa-source if it hasn't already been fixed, it seems to be missing a config option, make-kpkg complains about it.
