Thanks for the quick upload! I'll try to remember to do notifications
whenever I release new versions.

You are using the Git tags to make Debian packages? That surprises me.

Official HappyBase upstream tarball releases are made available from
PyPI. Tarballs found there are the ones that should be (re)packaged by
distributors, not "random" tags checked out version control systems. I'd
urge you to package the officially released versions. The way I see it,
the source tree as pointed to the Git tag is the *source* of a released
version on PyPI. The exact packaging depends on various factors, such as
build system versions.

Btw, what you describe as "normal" tag names seems arbitrary. I have not
encountered any widely accepted "standard" tagging workflows yet.

Anyway, thanks for making HappyBase easily available for users. Please
keep up the good work. :)
