For the individual binary builds with --append-to-version, why are they of
the form ~ubuntu18.04 and not +ubuntu18.04? I understand why we need them
for backports (assuming we want Debian packages to supersede them) but
does it matter for Debathena-specific packages? Was it just that it was
simpler to use the same tag for both backports and new packages, or was
there another reason?
(Context is I want to document this approach on the config-package-dev
website. Also $work has a use case for adding --append-to-version to
pbuilder, so I'll hopefully have a page soon saying, if you want to use
config-package-dev with multiple distros at once, here's how to put it all
together with either sbuild or pbuilder, plus aptly or dpkg-scanpackages,
etc.)
