Hi Alex and Andreas, indeed, I think that using an epoch is a bit too much at the moment. For instance, we do not know how long 2.0.0 will last, as sometimes minor corrections are released very shortly after a release, and packages with version numbers like 2.0.1 would solve our problem. I would recommend to ignore the warning until 2.0.0 is released.
