Review: Needs Fixing
I wasn't quite sure what the correct approach for versioning was in this case, so I asked #ubuntu-installer.  I think we should use 0.2.23ubuntu1, but I'm open to further discussion :).

(14:19:06) Evan: cjwatson: have you ever had a case of a native Ubuntu package being uploaded to Debian?  I'm trying to work out the right format for the changelog version if usb-creator gets uploaded, picking something that will nicely deal with syncs.
(14:20:28) Evan: rather, I'm trying to review a branch from Dmitrijs that makes it 0.2.23-0ubuntu1, which I don't believe is correct (and I don't like, because usb-creator is developed in Ubuntu, not Debian).
(14:22:51) soren: ev: I /think/ mvo maintains a package that way. I forget which one, though.
(14:23:03) Evan: soren: thanks!
(14:23:51) cjwatson: 0.2.23ubuntu1 would be the usual format for the Ubuntu version
(14:24:07) cjwatson: if you don't like that version format, you have a couple of options
(14:24:40) cjwatson: you can develop it as a true upstream project, release .tar.gz files, and have the packaging be separate, so it can either flow through Debian or we can pick it up early as -0ubuntu1
(14:24:57) cjwatson: or you can ask us to blacklist it from autosyncs and we'll only sync it on request
(14:25:25) cjwatson: putting a "-" in the version makes it not a native package; I have no idea where people picked up that convention as it seems odd to me
