Yes: 1.5-1 *was* uploaded, to the mentors repository. That means an
unknown number have already got 1.5-1 (I even explicitly asked them to
do so), and releasing a changed package without also changing the
release number would be needlessly confusing.
In a real sense, once I upload a revision of a package to mentors.d.n
it *is* released, even if it doesn't make it into Debian. So any
further changes made should be to a subsequent release number.
There have been complaints from DDs in the past on this very forum
about re-uploading to mentors.d.n a different package with the same
release number. So I don't do that.
