Hmm? Suppose upstream version is currently 1.07 released, and
they are planning on releasing 1.08 in the future. Now they are
running through 1.08 release candidates, and so we have 1.08 rc1,
soon to be followed by 1.08 rc2. The upstream version variables,
used by them, are all at 1.08 (not 1.08 '~'.
How do you propose the debian releases of the release
candidates be numbered? When upstream releases, upstream releases
shall have 1.08, 1.08.1 or 1.08-1, and so on.
