i'd like to point out that the -0somethingX version was chosen for a
reason by ubuntu... we assume that if a package ever enters debian its
first revision will be -1 which is always greater than -0anythingX so we
can easily sync it from debian as soon as it enters ...

the original origin should always be in the changelog, so if youre
really interested in it you can look it up.

;)
