Going back to debian after a short hiatus (we are expected our 3d
child in four year in october), I do not see anything offensing in
your tone.

The next version of acorn will be worst from this point of view:
6.2.1+ds+~0.4.0+~4.0.0+really4.0.0+~1.0.0+~5.0.1+ds+~1.7.0+ds+~0.1.1+~0.3.1+~0.2.0+~0.1.0+~0.3.0+~0.3.0

upstream split small package in smaller package, so we try to do our best.

I was thinking first to using a sequence number but we lost the uscan
automatic up to date download.

In fact we exchanged small insane package we insane metadata, against
a crazy version string, I believe it is a fair engineering decision.
We push the whole crap only to one place a version string.
