binary-nmu-uses-old-version-styleAre we sure that no one is going to do a manual binNMU and not know the new versioning system? We still do get occasional manual binNMUs.
I estimate that the number of people who still remember the old style and haven't heard of the new style, and feel adventurous to upload binNMUs built by hand is about 0.
Anyway, I believe such a binNMU would be rejected by dak (because it couldn't find source for such version).
