[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1063023: consider choosing experimental for breaking changes as per semver.org

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Praveen,

I need to admit that I perfectly understand your wish.  However, I think
this might go beyond the intended purpose of this small script which I
wrote to solve *routine* tasks.  It is not really intended to do
everything absolutely automated - developer checks should be done in
normal cases.  For instance I always to a `git log` to inspect what
the tool really did.  Somehow guessing a target distribution is a bit
more.  I also think that this should involve the release number - I like
to add some '~exp' at the end of the version string - others don't.

On the other hand we might consider different behaviour for certain
teams.  I just added in version 0.2 a whitelist for those teams who like
some debian/salsa-ci.yml file.  So if you are teams where it can guesses
from the upsteam version what target distribution is sensible and how
the version string should be designed I'd happily implement a patch.
For the use cases I have it is not sensible to do extra means in this
direction.

Kind regards and thanks anyway for this suggestion
    Andreas.
