yeah, actually the second sentece was totally disassociated from the
first. The first sentece was referring to the fact that you could use a
different compression program for the newer debian revision, and upload
that differently-compressed tarball.
For example, it's possible to do a -1 upload with a
foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz and a -2 upload with a foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.xz, and
the debian archive would happily keep both near (with -1 referring to
the .gz and the -2 referring to the .xz), and the actual version
wouldn't change.
Though, that's really ugly, and I always get mad when I notice such
thing.
