On the contrary; Policy does not say that a native package can't have a - in its version, it only says that *if* the package is non-native, the Debian revision is the part after the last -. This format for NMU version numbers of native packages (1.2 -> 1.2-0.1) is the only one that provides unambiguous identification of NMUs and binNMUs by version number alone, and it's the only one that's guaranteed not to collide with the maintainer's versioning scheme. - -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
