Policy documents this, but… You can use the "~" character as indicator of "sorts before". And using release codenames is often clearer (see e.g. the requirements for backports or stable updates. In your case > 1.20-29 -> unstable > 1.20-29~squeeze1 -> stable/squeeze > 1.20-29~lenny1 -> oldstable/lenny 1.20-29~lenny1 < 1.20.29~squeeze1 < 1.20-29 Note that this works because "squeeze" sorts alphabetically after "lenny". Now that we will release Wheezy, it will get harder to choose release codenames (as they should [for convenience] sort after "wheezy").
