Thanks for the bug report.

W: xen-tools: rc-version-greater-than-expected-version 4.4+dev > 4.4
(consider using 4.4~dev)
Both, the warning and especially the advice are wrong here.
Relevant changelog extracts causing this:
---snip---
xen-tools (4.4+dev-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
* Apply patch by Adrian C. (anrxc) to allow to override hooks in
/usr/share/xen-tools/*.d/ with hooks in /etc/xen-tools/hooks.d/.
Thanks! (Also add /etc/xen-tools/hooks.d/ to debian/dirs.)
* Ignore cover_db directory in t/perl-syntax.t.

xen-tools (4.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
[…]
---snap---
I'd either exclude the "dev" suffix completely from that test or check
the second last changelog entry, if the "+" is justified.
There are even some upstream developers (namely zsh) who version real
release candidates as "$PREVIOUS_VERSION-test-$N". See for example
http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs/main/z/zsh/unstable_changelog
(This gave IIRC no lintian warning, maybe due to the used word "test",
but is close enough IMHO to be worth mentioned as second example.)
The only strings that currently trigger
rc-version-greater-than-expected-version are "rc", "alpha", "beta",
"pre", "preview", "prerelease" and "dev". I agree that we should delete
"dev" from that list.
