Bug#1016430: netgen: New upstream version 6.2.2007 available / why is the version overriden with +really?

[Tobias Frost]

Source: netgen
Version: 6.2.2006+really6.2.1905+dfsg-2.1
Severity: important

Hi Kurt,

netgen is currently RC buggy (#1014964), which is fixed upstream.

However, the Debian appendix "+really6.2.1905+dfsg-5" scheme indicates that 6.2.1905 has been uploaded
intentially, to override 6.2.2006 with 6.2.1905.

However, I could not find any documentation WHY that is (this should be really have been documented in d/copyright or with
a bug in the BTS, closed by the "+really" uplaod....

So I wonder
 - what were the reasons for the "+really" upload?
 - are the reasons still valid, IOW, could an new upstream version be prepared?

Thanks for your feedback!
