A quick question I dare not ask -devel:
When a certain version of a certain binary package has been uploaded to
unstable, can a lower version be uploaded after the offending version has
been removed by the FTP masters, or is it absolutely necessary to add an
epoch?
Normally, when uploading the wrong version of your own package, you'd use the
epoch, but in this particular case a package, dkim-milter, was allowed
through NEW despite building a binary package of the same name as one from a
similar but unrelated package, libdkim. (The offending binary packages were
later renamed.)
See http://packages.debian.org/sid/libdkim-dev for the resulting mess.
