No. It shouldn't. Unfortunately, PEP-440 describes a versioning scheme
that is incompatible with the versioning long used in Debian and it's
derivatives such as Ubuntu. As the PEP says, "The main reason to even
have a standardised version scheme in the first place is to make it
easier to do reliable automated dependency analysis." We already have
another system to do that and python-apt is conforming to it.
If one were to conform to PEP 440, then the package would be
incompatible with distro versioning requirements.
Note: This is not general issue for Python packages. It is only a
conflict for Debian/Ubuntu native packages like python-apt.
** Changed in: python-apt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
