Hi!

The last paragraph of section 5.11.2. NMUs and debian/changelog recommends
to suffix the version for a "forked" NMU (e.g. security uploads or an
upload to t-p-u)  with +debXYuZ .  However, this practice seems quite
unknown:

$ wget -q -O -
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/source/Sources.gz|zgrep ^Version:|grep -c +deb[0-9][0-9]u
1

$ wget -q -O - http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/source/Sources.gz|zgrep ^Version:|grep -c +squeeze
12

Futhermore lintian warns when using +deb60u1, and it seems to confuse the
bts a bit.  See for example the version graph #603456, placing testings
nagiosgrapher/1.7.1-2+deb60u1 above unstables nagiosgrapher/1.7.1-2.1, I'm
wondering wether this recomendation should be changed.

Best regards,
  Alexander

This was fixed a while ago; see bug #685646.

+debXuY is now recommended:

$ zcat dists/unstable/main/source/Sources.gz | grep -c 'Version: .*[+]deb[0-9]u[0-9]'
