Comment (by greno):
I do not think this is an edge-case. I see this problem crop up from time
to time especially when applications put out release candidates and name
the version string like '1.0.1-rc1'. I've had 'bdist_rpm' fail even on
python 2.5 with such strings.
Also, the reason that some distros don't use 'bdist_rpm' is because the
packagers don't understand python or distutils or just plain want to muck
around with a lot of things that they really don't understand.
'bdist_rpm' is what they should be using to build packages.
