Bug#896675: lintian: false positive non-consecutive-debian-revision on source package rename

[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.83
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just forked src:nvidia-settings-legacy-390xx from src:nvidia-settings,
the changelog looks like this:

nvidia-settings-legacy-390xx (390.48-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Initial release of nvidia-settings for use with the legacy 390xx driver.
  * Build only a single binary package, no -dev package or shared library.

nvidia-settings (390.48-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add Provides+Conflicts: nvidia-settings-gtk-${nvidia:Version} to prevent
    file conflicts with the legacy package built from the same upstream
    version.
  * Use dh_missing --fail-missing.

 -- Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>  Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:22:08 +0200

...

Reusing version numbers or going backwards is safe in this case since
the source package (and all remaining binary packages) got renamed, but
lintian triggers non-consecutive-debian-revision anyway.
