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.
Have you contacted upstream about this issue?Debian might not be the only distribution which is affected by this and maybe they are willing to do a 0.90.1 release (and hopefully keep it in mind when doing future releases).
