Package: qa.debian.org Severity: normal The DDPO page shows new version of packages based on the output of a uscan run with the debian/watch file of a package. Some packages have to mangle the new version with the aid of uversionmangle. This change is reflected in a new variable $mangled_newversion in contrast to $newversion. So DDPO should display the value of $mangled_newversion if set instead of $newversion in these cases. An example is the package cfengine, where Matching-Pattern includes additional parentheses for grouping of regexes which result in a wrong version number. This number has then to be shortened by uversionmangle.
