In case anybody is interested in working on epoch support in Fink: Sylvain started work on this (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/ index.php?func=detail&aid=607742&group_id=17203&atid=317203), but there were some issues, and apparently he has no time currently to work on it. So if your are interested in having a stab at this, feel free to do so. You may want to say so here first, though, to avoid duplicate work.
I suppose this would be done by adding an "Epoch" field, and then augmenting our version_cmp function accordingly. Furthermore, the epoch must be passed on to dpkg properly, of course. And it would need to be encoded into the .deb file name, too.
I will check it out.
