However, upstream quickjs-ng version is 0.11.0, but current quickjs debian version is 2025.04.26-1.
Policy 5.6.12 requires to ask here the question: is it okay to use an epoch 1:0.11.0-1 in that case ?
Are you replacing the main package, or are you providing an alternate package (quickjs-ng) that generates a transitional package, and no further versions of the old package will be uploaded?
In the latter case, it is also possible to give that transitional package a version number like "2025.99+really0.11.0" -- a source package can build binaries with different version numbers.
The other question is whether this is a drop-in replacement, or if it should really be named "quickjs-ng", and dependencies adjusted, with no transition managed through packages.
