Hi all,
then replacing, "sarge", "etch" and "lenny" by "debian3.1", "debian4.0"
and "debian5.0" would solve the problem permanently :)
By the way, is it necessary that the NMUs would not simply increase the
version number just as regular maintainer uplads would, given that it
can simply be detected otherwise ?
Have a nice day,
