I do not know much about version numbering, but since I was curious and
looked some stuff up here is what I found:

There are two ways to number svn releases that seem to be equivalent:
e.g.:
navit_0.1.1+svn1234 
navit_0.2.0~svn1234 (the tilde means less than; a package 0.2.0 would supersede 
it;)

The latouche archive uses 0.1.0+svn version numbers while 0.1.1 has been
released.

The program internally speaks of itself as 0.2.0 (both the navit -v
commandline and the about page in the GUI).

debian uses the 0.2.0~ numbering, too:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=navit&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

I also suspect that reducing the version number is maybe not practical.
Up might be the much preferred direction.

I suspect that it would be much easier to ask the maintainer of the
latouche archive whether he would consider changing to the debian/ubuntu
numbering.

Just my two cents.

Regards,
Wolfgang
