For my Google Summer of Code project, we required a package comparison algorithm that worked the exact same as Debian. Instead of reusing Buran's code from Keryx 0.92, I decided to read up on the dpkg vercmp source and make a port to python. Turned out about 100 lines shorter and considerably cleaner. From what I've tested, everything seems to compare properly as well. I'll be building some comparison unit tests to make sure everything works in a couple of days.
Current release of the algo is here: http://bitbucket.org/excid3/winlibre/src/00458f7e8856/wpkg/vercmp.py -- Chris Oliver http://excid3.com
