I was wondering how you envision the following: "The source package name
may also include the APIVERSION in its name." I mean, if the binary
package should contain it, and there are multiple versions, shouldn't
the source package also contain it? Or is this related to the last
paragraph of that chapter?

Also, I think we want some more words when the package with APIVERSION
is "updated" with a newer version. I.e. I think it shouldn't be updated
when you still want to provide the old APIVERSION, but instead there
should be a new package. Or are you envisioning to provide multiple
APIVERSIONs from the same source (I would recommend against that,
although since the latest uscan version less so).

Last time we discussed a target for how many APIVERSIONs are allowed. I
don't remember quickly what came out of that discussion, but maybe
having the discussion (or different opinions) reflected in the policy as
point to consider may be appropriate.

Paul
