[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#688915: ia32-libs: please change version numbering scheme for the transitional packages

[Andreas Beckmann]

Source: ia32-libs
Version: 20120701
Severity: important

ia32-libs 20120926 is now in s-p-u, this is newer than the version in
sid ... the YYYYMMDD version number space seems to be reserved for
stable and stable updates, so please use something different for the
transitional packages. Probably with an epoch, e.g. 1:0.1 for the next
upload to sid to clarify "this is the next generation - we are past the
monolithic ia32-libs age".

The current situation makes it difficult to declare proper breaks
against the old monolithic versions. Currently I have 
  Breaks: ia32-libs (<< 20120701)
in the NVIDIA and Fglrx proprietary drivers, which is no longer correct
... It would be great if I could use just something like
  Breaks: ia32-libs (<< 1:0)
