Re: Security slightly compromised. Why is lenny-security altering uw-imap_2007b~dfsg.orig.tar.gz?

If the tarball has changed then how about a 7:2007b~dfsg2-<whatever>?
That way the filename will differ and no conflict will arise.

I am a bit surprised that a security update requires modifications tothe upstream tar ball.

I would speculate this was a mistake, and the best approach would be torebuild the security update with the correct tar ball.

Otherwise, if the changes to the tar ball where deliberate, change thefilename as above.
