Hi,

I'm using Testing.
I've build madwifi-source with m-a suite :
m-a prepare, build then install
As I've done with the previous version.

Yes, I've the latest madwifi-tools from testing repositories, I've no
updates at this time.
My madwifi-tools version is 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3, and it is the latest from
testing repositories (as aptitude says after an update). As you see, it
doesn't match the madwifi-source version number.
You can see the same at packages.debian.org for testing (and sid for
mips and mipsel arch).

the madwifi-tools policy:
$ apt-cache policy madwifi-tools
madwifi-tools:
  Installed: 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3
  Candidate: 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3 0
        900 http://ftp.fr.debian.org lenny/contrib Packages
        900 http://ftp.fr.debian.org testing/contrib Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:0.9.3+dfsg-1 0
        -20 ftp://fr.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages

It seems for me that the madwifi-tools package has to be updated in the
repositories to match the madwifi-source version, isn't it?
