It could just be that there were multiple 1.3.2+0mX versions internally compiled and tested in Nokia, and we only saw it when they were happy with the eighth version, so the version made public is 1.3.2+0m8. In other words, it might just be coincidence that it seemingly went from Xm7 to Ym8, and it could just as easily have been version 1.3.2+0m4 that was released.

Though debian/changelog should mention all intermediate versions, even if not released.

But then why Nokia starts new applications for Harmattan directly assigning it the 0m6-0m7? Nokia link is a new app wich doesn't exist for previous OS, and the first version was 0.1.12+0m6, why not 0m1? It's coincidence they have 5 internal testing packages? I don't think so, must be something related to the OS, the way they packaged it or the way they interact with the OS (compatibility reasons etc)
