That I don't understand ... how does the release cycle depend on where the 
debian data is?

What my question aims at: I already have a "make-release" script; if there'd 
be something like "change version number in debian/..." (and/or something 
else), it would be no more work - and the debian package could be easier kept 
up-to-date.

No worries :-) You're welcome.
Of course I'm interested in getting my package used!
