Hi folks,

I would like to use upstream's Debian/Ubuntu packages for a 
certain tool 'foo'. Its closer to what I need, and I don't 
have migrate between both versions before asking the mailing 
list for help or for reporting/fixing problems. 

Problem: The Debian maintainer messed up the version numbers 
and had to introduce a "1:" for his foo package. Now upstream's
package always appears to be out of date, forcing me to override
apt-get. 

If upstream's Debian package of a tool is "not good enough" 
for Debian for some reason, wouldn't it be reasonable to avoid
a naming conflict on creating the Debian package?


Regards
Harri
