Debian Policy says about this:
| upstream_version:
|
| This is the main part of the version number. It is usually the version
| number of the original ("upstream") package from which the .deb file has
| been made, if this is applicable. Usually this will be in the same
| format as that specified by the upstream author(s); however, it may need
| to be reformatted to fit into the package management system's format and
| comparison scheme.
|
| The comparison behavior of the package management system with respect to
| the upstream_version is described below. The upstream_version portion of
| the version number is mandatory.
|
| The upstream_version may contain only alphanumerics[32] and the
| characters . + - : ~ (full stop, plus, hyphen, colon, tilde) and should
| start with a digit. If there is no debian_revision then hyphens are not
| allowed; if there is no epoch then colons are not allowed.
so yes, maybe we should not use Dpkg::Version for comparing it.
Greetings
Martin
