The next version of dpkg has --force-bad-version to work around this. I'm not sure it's highly constructive to ask Guillem to revert the change at this point since the impact on Debian is very low and a way has been provided to install packages with bad versions. Please reconsider. I think it's been well explained that version numbers ought to start with a "number".
