Comment(by leif):
Funny thing. I'd rather change the ''code'' to reflect the common practice
of using dashes in package names, i.e. taking the leftmost substring that
''starts with a digit'' (and of course is preceded by a hyphen) as the
package version part.
IMHO code that's unable to deal with dashes in package names is bad and
should be fixed, not the names. We shouldn't introduce or keep
restrictions that aren't really necessary, not only but especially if they
rule out what's widely used.
