Hmmm... nice :-)

I noticed you have not changed the compatibility level or even standards
version.

One related issue:

I'm trying to merge the s/.dfsg/~dfsg/ change into my Sarge package and
get tons of Lintian messages of the sort of:

E: asterisk source: bad-version-number 1:1.2.13~dfsg-1

I have some 15 messages in various packages. Any way to suppress them
all in one cetral place rather than adding a lintian overrides file for
every package?
