N: 
N:    The previous version of this package had a different version epoch to
N:    the current version but the upstream version did not go "backwards". For
N:    example, the previous package version was "1:1.0-1" and the current
N:    version is "2:2.0-1".
N:    
N:    This was likely an accidental bump or addition of an epoch.
N:    
N:    Epochs exist to cope with changes to the upstream version numbering
N:    scheme. Whilst they are a powerful tool, increasing or adding an epoch
N:    has many downsides including causing issues with versioned dependencies,
N:    being misleading to users and being aesthetically unappealing. Whilst
N:    they should be avoided, valid reasons to add or increment the epoch
N:    include:
N:    
N:     - Upstream changed their versioning scheme in a way that makes the
N:       latest version lower than the previous one.
N:     - You need to permanently revert to a lower upstream version.
N:    
N:    Temporary revertions (eg. after an NMU) should use not modify or
N:    introduce an epoch - please use the CURRENT+reallyFORMER until you can
N:    upload the latest version again.
