The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Acutally, bruce, acording the policy manual, 19.15-3.1 is *right*...

<URL:file:/usr/doc/dpkg/policy.html/ch-sourcepkg.html#s5.1:>

When someone other than the usual maintainer releases a package they
should add a new component to the <var>debian-revision</var> component of
the version number - that is, the portion after the (last) hyphen.
This extra component will start at <code>1</code>.  This is to avoid
`stealing' one of the usual maintainer's version numbers, possibly
disrupting their work.  If there is no <var>debian-revision</var> component
in the version number then one should be created, starting at <code>1</code>.<P>

If it is absolutely necessary for someone other than the usual
maintainer to make a release based on a new upstream version then the
person making the release should start with the <var>debian-revision</var>
value <code>0.1</code>.  The usual maintainer of a package should start their
<var>debian-revision</var> numbering at <code>1</code>.
