I agree that _p is newer than that.
But if we look on tag of screen-4.0.3 or its release:
 screen-4.0.2.tar.gz        27-Jan-2004 05:46  821K  
 screen-4.0.2.tar.gz.sig    27-Jan-2004 05:47   65   
 screen-4.0.3.tar.gz        07-Aug-2008 06:30  821K  
 screen-4.0.3.tar.gz.sig    07-Aug-2008 06:30   65   
You see the pattern? It is 1 year newer than it.
