I asked upstream about this concern earlier. The current plan is to
release the first non-RC as version 0.6.1 and use git-buildpackage
versioning afterwards. (ie: There will be no official 0.6.0 release,
only release candidates.)
I intend to clear the changelog when I branch for wheezy and raring,
and then use separate branches thereafter.
