Thank you,

Well. 0.99-2 because the archive already has 0.99-1. The "+ds1" part means that
it has been repackaged ("Debian Source"), and 1... well, I didn't like
0.99-2+ds ;)
I've looked the Policy, but probably I missed it, and it doesn't explain what
version number to use in case of a repackaged source. I've seen lots of
versions (results taken from apt-cache dumpavail with some grepping):
0.5.2.1.ds-1.1
4.57~ds.1-1
2.3.0+ds1-1
I think I shouldn't use "dfsg" either, because it's not been repackaged because
of non-free things or the like :)
Kindly,
David
