This is what I mean. I have started this thread to find an agreement with Debian.
then there are multiple sensible approaches, all of which should be done by the package maintainer. Luckily they are the same for both packages, so the sensible approach is to file bugreports against those packages and/or get in touch directly with Roland Mas<lolando@debian.org>.
I have CCed Roland.
If you mean how to number those two packages in _Ubuntu_ differently from Debian so as to ease potential later adoption by Debian, I would not recommend you to do that at all. In my opinion you should treat Ubuntu as downstream of Debian: For any matters involving more than local context work with upstream if at all possible rather than fork!
I want to avoid different numbering schemes for the Debian and the Ubuntu packages.
One question: If I have a source package numbered 1.3.3, can it generate binary packages with different version numbers, like 2.12? So that I have argyll 1.3.3 as source package, producing the binaries argyll 1.3.3, argyll-dbg 1.3.3, libicc2 2.12, and libicc-dev 2.12?
