In Debian the version is 0.9.6-1 where 0.9.6 is the DOLFIN version and -1 is the revision in Debian. When creating a new package it is common to increase the Debian revision by 1 and then add some suffix afterwards, in this case ~ppa1~lucid1. This ensures that if version 0.9.6-2 is later added to Lucid then this package will be preferred over the package from the FEniCS PPA. This is because 0.9.6-2 > 0.9.6-2~ppa1~lucid1: $ dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.6-2 gt 0.9.6-2~ppa1~lucid1 && echo Yes! Yes!
