name-version-revision as the unique identifier of a package, you must
not create a package that differs from another solely by its epoch.

+When used in a version string, the Epoch appears before the Version
+value, separated by a colon (1:3.14-2). Note that the Epoch is not
+of <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">%v</tt> (or (<tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">%f</tt>). If you add an Epoch field to
+a package description file, you may have to adjust versioned
+dependencies on the packages in it. For example, if you
+add <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">Epoch: 1</tt> and foo-dev declares <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">Depends:
+foo-shlibs (= %v-%r)</tt>, you will need to rewrite that
+as <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">Depends: foo-shlibs (= %e:%v-%r)</tt>.
