1.6

But in between I found some more about the fine details of packaging.
:-)

One small issue, for example, a possible move to use autoreconf (in the
case of autotools build):

https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf

>From the preamble of that document:
"Autoreconfing on build is good practice in Debian. There used to be
good reasons to stick with the autotools files shipped in the upstream
tarball (mostly incompatibility with newer versions), but these days
good forward compatibility and the advantages of getting the latest
updates for new architectures or other fixes means that autoreconfing
on build should be the default in packages."

FWIW this a good practice and not a requirement.

So even although I remember some of the details, and also remember that
the Wiki was my friend.
