dch -i should change XbuildY to NubuntuM

I asked Barry to file this. We actually already have dch -R in case of a no change rebuild, so I would think dch -i should give the proper version for an upload with a change. I just confirmed this in a natty chroot with devscripts 2.10.69ubuntu1, so I'm marking this Triaged.

Hi Barry,

Could you elaborate on why you opened an UDD bugtask? It seems to me that this bug resides entirely within devscripts.

Max.

Hi Max. It was recommended to do so at the UDD stakeholders meeting.

OK, but recommended for what purpose? It's not at all obvious what activity must be undertaken before this bugtask can be considered closed.

This bug was fixed in the package devscripts - 2.11.8

---------------
devscripts (2.11.8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ David Prévot ]
  * French translation update.

  [ James McCoy ]
  * dd-list:
    + Recognize -h argument, as documented.
    + Don't error when given multiple binary packages from the same source.
      (Closes: #672309)
  * Also note DEBCHANGE_MAINTTRAILER change in NEWS entry for 2.11.7.
    (Closes: #672973)
  * dget:
    + Fix handling of sources.list entries with a port. (Closes: #672460) Still
      can't handle entries at the same domain but different ports until
      #154868 is fixed.
  * debcheckout:
    + Document the DEBCHECKOUT_SOURCE configuration variable.
    + Determine the source package name when downloading the source tarball.
      This ensures the downloaded files aren't incorrectly removed after being
      downloaded.
    + Adapt find_repo() to determine the tarball name for native packages.

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * debchange:
    + Add --vendor= and DEBCHANGE_VENDOR to override the distributor ID
      returned by dpkg-vendor.
    + Always perform Vendor check.
    + Fall back to Debian vendor when a Debian-specific command-line option
      has been supplied (--nmu, --qa, --bin-nmu, --bpo).
    + Adjust --security template for Ubuntu.
    + Add -R/--rebuild flag for Ubuntu's no-change rebuilds.
    + Append ubuntu1 to version when incrementing on Ubuntu, unless a
      -U/--upstream option is given.
    + On Ubuntu, don't copy the previous distribution name for a new changelog
      entry. Use the Ubuntu devel release.
    + Don't use NMU versioning for NMUs / Security uploads on Ubuntu.
    + dch --increment changes XbuildY to Xubuntu1 on Ubuntu (LP: #690230).
    + Try to guess the vendor based on the given distribution name (LP: #723715)
    + Prefer UBUMAIL over DEBEMAIL on Ubuntu (LP: #929846).
  * Add first tests for licensecheck.
  * Add online test for uscan.

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * devscripts.Logger Don't substitute arguments into logged strings unless
    they were provided. (LP: #968129)
  * debchange: Use distro-info to determine Ubuntu release names (LP: #997932).
  * Incorporate Ubuntu's delta:
    Move debian-keyring, equivs, libcrypt-ssleay-perl, and libsoap-lite-perl
    to Suggests when building on Ubuntu.

  [ Raphael Geissert ]
  * dget: ignore duplicate repository URLs. (Closes: #675258)
