Hi folks,
I would like to use upstream's Debian/Ubuntu packages for a certain tool 'foo'. Its closer to what I need, and I don't have migrate between both versions before asking the mailing list for help or for reporting/fixing problems. Problem: The Debian maintainer messed up the version numbers and had to introduce a "1:" for his foo package. Now upstream's package always appears to be out of date, forcing me to override apt-get.
