We just add a final "-" (or even a -0 to be safe).  Yep, that's all it takes

then the <upstream_version> if <epoch> is equal, and then <debian_revision>
if <upstream_version> is also equal.  <epoch> is compared numerically.  The
<upstream_version> and <debian_revision> parts are compared by the package
management system using the following algorithm:"

So we need to make sure we don't let anything be in the debian revision
(append "-" or "-0").
