The source and binaries *must* match, period. You can't have tarballs being
constantly upgraded, and the binaries not, or vice versa. The source+binary
must be done as a whole unit.
Also, with this email, I am making a formal request: I am the original author
of DBS, the most widely used patch system available in debian. This system
tends to want to be embedded inside each and every package that makes use of
it(altho, this is not always the case nowadays, with dbs.deb and cdbs). I
therefor make an official request that you remove all distributition of all
such dbs-derived packages until such time as this mismatch is fixed.
