When you're backporting an upload to the Debian archive for UbuntuGIS
you append ~<distribution>1 to the package version, always.

So if you're backporting an experimental upload which includes ~expN in
its version you keep that, and when you're backporting an upload to
unstable which doesn't include ~expN in its version, you still append
~<distribution>1 to the version.

I may skip the experimental upload for 7.0.3 final, and upload 7.0.3-1
to unstable directly instead of uploading 7.0.3-1~exp1 to experimental
first. We only have to rebuild libgdal-grass since qgis will be removed
from the archive on the 26th, so we don't have much of a transition to
coordinate.

Kind Regards,

Bas
