There's not a lot of choice when picking a version number. 0.25-0.1 is
the recommended version number for a new upstream version NMU. In
fact, the reason you use -0.1 is because, if it were uploaded, it
would be an NMU. Only the maintainer may upload -1, but he's
missing-in-action.

Since my 0.25-0.1 release has been uploaded and accepted, I'd
recommend keeping the monotone debian/ directory in sync with
Debian's. In the future, I'll post my changelog entry here before
uploading to Debian.

Sorry for the confusion. Cheers,
Shaun
