the important word here ist "automatically".
We agreed that a script will do that. And that script - once it has been
written will be executed after a journal apply (as we do it already with
the .cache files). So there is _no_need_ to update the extraver manually
(with some exceptions where a change in another package should also result
in an update in this package).
I will reject patches which do increment the extraversion in cases where
the to-be-written script would do it automatically because those patches
make it much harder to e.g. merge different patches for the same package
the right way.
yours,
