[pve-devel] [RFC installer] d/rules: allow for local testing suffixes to debian versions

[Stoiko Ivanov]

When testing the installer in a ISO environment it can be quite
helpful to change the version of the debian-package to a temporary
higher version (which still orders below the next released version).

e.g. I now wanted to build a installer-package for some tests with
debian version 9.0.10~localtest1, but the build failed at
dh_auto_configure due to the mismatch.

While disabling/removing the check in those cases is not too much
effort either it might help others as well in not running into this.

I've only allowed for `~` and `+` as strippable suffix, as `-` would
at least cause lintian to complain about a strange version for a
native package.

Background on debian package versions:

This a change to
9528321 ("d/rules: add safe-guard to keep cargo and debian version in sync")

sending as RFC, as I'm not at all convinced that the patch is a help to more
people apart from myself. If we take it in I'll try to provide patches for
the other project as well (the commit introducing the change mentioned
pve-lxc-syscalld)
