You can look in `debian/changelog` for the changes applied. The number
appended to the upstream version is the Debian packages version, which
simply put just relates to changes in the packaging of a program and
normally consists of changes in the directory `debian/` of the source
package.

True. Hopefully those users subscribed to the Launchpad report will
chime in. But as George put, the problems are about Data projects, that
means – as far as I understand – to choose some files from your disk and
burn them directly to a CD/DVD medium.
