Re: The use of epoch in version

[Mats Erik Andersson <mats.andersson@gisladisker.se>]

Very illuminating discussion!

Existing version:     webfs_1.21-5.2

Suggestion:           webfs_1.21+dp1-1


Would that choice be acceptable?  I am sort of interpreting
"dp1" as expressing

     "Debian packaging, first repackaging"

I am not sure what the mnemonic "ds1" stands for in Ben Finney's text.
