Re: Best practices for Debian developers who are also upstreams?

Hi!

Thanks for the example. I see you even maintain the changelog in upstream: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=blob;f=debian/changelog;h=4f7457cd7f588e6d3a821bf1530cc1f8742c8d6f;hb=refs/heads/master

But apparently "upstream" releases are decoupled from also bumping the Debian version?

https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commit;h=3efa2ad72c8ffd8183fab2cd6592f35e72fbb7d7

This means debian/changelog shows "wrong" version at least for one commit and that would not work in the CI pipelines I use as build products would end up with inaccurate version strings. This is something I seek to find an elegant solution for..
