Okay. I still need to get clear in my head the relative trade-offs
between being able to install and maintain multiple versions at once
vs the simplicity of a single package name. Much of it probably depends
on the frequency of releases relative to Debian's stable release cycle,
as well as your expectation for the support of older branches.

Could you expand on how that would particularly affect you as
upstreams?

Cheers,
Dominic.
