You completely made my day! :-)
That's right, DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION is a variable that were defined by
the cdbs makefiles the previous version were using.
Correcting this removes the warning.
THANKS A LOOOOOOOOOOT! :-D

Hi Sune,

> Who provides those -abi- packages ?

version number in its name - yes, i know, really bad practice - which

Thanks a lot for the help.

Best regards,
Joseph
