NOTE, I built this on sid, as the changelog file from pristine darcs states
the package is "unstable", which equates to sid.

Unless we wanna do debian override files and what not, we should
change "unstable" to "testing" in the control file and build on etch (as of
01/2007) or do a naming convention for each release, like:

netrek-server-vanilla (2.12.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

netrek-server-vanilla (2.12.0-1~etch) testing; urgency=low

netrek-server-vanilla (2.12.0-1~sarge) stable; urgency=low

The issue would be what is newer? ~etch or ~sarge?

If I'm running sarge, dist-upgrade to etch, will apt-get do the right thing?

There is a convoluted long document on how apt-get figures it out OR how to
override the whole thing in your pool directory.

I just found it easier to artificially inflate the release number for sid
(unstable) and -1 on etch and -2 on sarge. But I'm open to suggestions.

Example:

netrek-server-vanilla (2.12.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

netrek-server-vanilla (2.12.0-2~etch) testing; urgency=low

netrek-server-vanilla (2.12.0-1~sarge) stable; urgency=low
