Tim,
I noticed that for R14 is in build-deps ready "better" version of
sudo-trinity. I wanted to put this into v3.5.13.1, but there is a problem
with the version number. Previous package sudo-trinity had a version
derived
from the original package sudo - for example 1.7.2p7-1. New package has
version 1.0, but this making it the "older" than previous package.
It would be possible to increase the number of "epoch" in package - for
example to package version 1:1.0-1?
I have been told several times to never increase the epoch; if the version
number must be incremented then make it 2.0.

I assume that the increase epoch is precisely for cases where there is a
significant change / replacement program, where the new program has a lower
version number than the previous one. This is exactly the case, as it is now
sudo-trinity. However, an increase in version number to 2.0 also solves the
problem.
You prefer an increase in version number to 2.0? I'll wait for the update in
build-deps for R14 and then I'll take packages also into v3.5.13.1.
