I’d rather see the binNMU version in the installed_version field – after
all, for that architecture, that is the version that is installed. When
filing a binNMU it is confusing to first see it go from 1.0-1
(Installed) to 1.0-1+b1 (Needs-Build) to 1.0-1+b1 (Built) to 1.0-1
(Installed). I’d expect it to stay at 1.0-1+b1 (Installed), if you know
what I mean.

Greetings,
Joachim
