Backport version number problem.

[Alec Leamas <leamas.alec@gmail.com>]

Dear list,

I'm about to backport opencpn from Sid to backports-sloppy, running into 
versioning problems.

The Sid version is 5.6.2+dfsg-1. The sloppy version should then be 
something like 5.6.2+dfsg-1~bpo10.1.

However, it has been necessary to repack the backport. This is a about a 
dependency which is available in Bullseye+, but not in Buster. OTOH, the 
library is bundled in the upstream source, so solution becomes to repack 
the sources with the bundled library present.

The backport version then becomes something like 5.6.2+dfsg2-1~bpo10.1. 
But this sorts after the Sid version 5.6.2+dfsg-1, right? Making it a 
Bad Backport Version.

Has anyone ideas how to handle this?


Cheers!
