This sounds good. It will be nice to have the 'dgis' in there to
indicate at a glance where this version of the package was installed
from.
So now that I've jumped the gun and uploaded 5.7.0-6, how do I replace
it with 5.7.0-0.dgis.unstable.6, which has a lower version number?
Also, when I do 'apt-get update' I get:
