What's puzzling me most is that this seems so a common thing to do, jet I can't find this issue in the apt-howto document.FYI, I used to get this same problem while compiling sources in RH. I just circumvented it by increasing the version number a bit, e.g.,Current version of emacs is:emacs21_21.3+1-5I'll make it emacs21_21.3+1-5.1 which was done easily with a script.I can't tell you how to do it in debian yet, because I'm new to Debian,and haven't been able to compile emacs (without modification) yet.
The easiest way is to do 'dch -i <comment>'/'dch -v <new-version> <comment>' from the source directory[ie the directory that contains a debian subdirectory]. dch is from package devscripts. Alternatively, the package tools don't seem to mind if you just fudge the newest entry in debian/changelog's version up a little bit with any text editor.
