There is (or better: was) cnews, in etch and lenny, with
cr.g7-40.{1,4}.
I noticed this because of
dpkg-query: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line
699262 package 'cnews':
error in Version string 'cr.g7-40.4': version number does not start with
digit
each time I build a package (maybe I should just remove oldstable
from my sources.list at some point :))
(Just as a side note, and not relevant for policy.)
Cheers,
gregor
