Why doesn't your software follow the clasic Debian policy? A software
version 1.0 is chosen and frozen for the current Debian stable
version. The software development remains in testing/unstable
branches. When a new Debian stable version arrives, software version
1.1 is frozen for it. Also, backports exist to provide modern features
in the stable version.

I cannot imagine why the above policy is not suitable for AG products,
being them based basically on Python (so no really complex
dependencies on C/C++ libraries).


However, it's just my opinion :)
