thanks for the heads-up!<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the Version 1.6 is less than the current version of the binary<br>
package 1902+ds-1, so we cannot just change it as otherwise users would be<br>
stuck at the 1902 version.<br>
<br>
My suggestion is that we keep the wrong version in Debian until the split<br>
actually happens. Once it does, we can also create a new source tarball and use<br>
an epoch to get the versioning right.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
cheers, josch<br>
