+If the package is not a native package, you should add a minor version number
+to the Debian revision part of the version number (the portion after the last
+hyphen). This extra number must start at <literal>1</literal>. For example,
+if the current version is <literal>1.5-2</literal>, then an NMU would get
+version <literal>1.5-2.1</literal>. If a new upstream version
+is packaged in the NMU, the Debian revision is set to <literal>0</literal>, for
+example <literal>1.6-0.1</literal>.

+In both cases, if the last upload was also an NMU, the counter should
+be increased. For example, if the current version is
+<literal>1.5+nmu3</literal> (a native package which has already been
+NMUed), the NMU would get version <literal>1.5+nmu4</literal>.
