Thanks! Please note that the Lintian website currently runs off of
unreleased changes in Git. The wisdom of that may be debatable but it
happened due to popular demand. For that reason, we appropriated the
last digit in the semantic version string—also called the "patch"
[1]—as the commit step indicator. [2]

That decision was taken to reconcile the output of 'git describe' with
the peculiarities of the SemVer specification, such as:

    "Pre-release versions have a lower precedence than the associated
normal version."
 and
    "Build metadata MUST be ignored when determining version precedence."

For future releases, it would be great if you could please leave the
"patch" at zero and just bump the "minor" version. Otherwise, the
relevant version calculations [3][4] do not work. Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
