If you're listed in Uploaders, then you shouldn't use the NMU style version numbers.

See https://wiki.debian.org/NonMaintainerUpload

The new maintainers guide' is a good read if you haven't read it yet:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ has all the fine details.

The lintian website usually has suggestions on how to resolve these issues. E.g. for
license-problem-non-free-RFC-BCP78: https://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-non-free-RFC-BCP78.html

These files need to be filtered out when importing new upstream Samba versions. We usually do
this when importing new upstream versions into the Git repository - the
configuration in debian/gbp.conf takes care of this.

Yep. Uploads of ne wversions will need to be to experimental (rather than
unstable) until stretch is released.
