"fix". I'm aware of how to make dak accept it and make it sort above it
using the dpkg version compare. Thanks for that tip, Dmitry.

But you see, that's not my point. Really, in reality, *semantically*,
we're shipping a release *less than* 0.0. To say we're shipping something
semantically *newer* 0.0 is wrong. ~ means before, like an RC. + means
after, like fixing a broken already uploaded non-free release to main
with +dfsg.


Anyway, I realize you don't like this because it doesn't git tag right,
but I'm going to keep saying + is less correct than ~. You'll likely
have to live with this fact of life.

I hope you can empathize with my love of expressing things semantically,
and I hope you can also understand this wasn't me going around claiming
anyone is a bad developer for doing this.


I *am* saying it's semantically wrong, and I'll continue to complain about
this by bitching to the list once in a while.
