commit b51bc4ff0cd540b82e131470053eeed1c3d2f026
Author: Guillem Jover <guil...@debian.org>

dpkg-maintscript-helper: Use the new --validate-version command
Do not abuse the --compare-versions command to perform version
validation, use the new --validate-version command expressly added
now to perform such task. Because the latter returns appropriate exit
codes, does not print messages in debug mode and is the correct
interface to use.
Closes: #844701
