upstream's braa sources suffer from non-incremental version numbers:
0.82 < 0.9 < 0.9.1 according to the order of commits (don't rely on
the order of tags displayed). The current packaging in Debian has
version 0.82-7.

To be able to fix RC bug #1137251, I would like to increase the
epoch to 1 and update the package to version 1:0.9.1.

You can change the version numbering slightly [1]: 'however, it may need to be 
reformatted to fit into the package management system’s format and comparison 
scheme.'

It looks like 0.82 was actually 0.8.2, so why not release 0.9.1 with the 
reversed logic as '0.91+actually0.9.1'?
The package is at 0.x, so I guess there will be time to introduce semver [2] 
version numbers until 1.x gets released.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
