Could it be possible to note in chapter reference, for field package

I think the second part is recommended but not required by Debian Policy (see the link from Epoch) but it sure makes things less confusing! Any input from other admin-folks on a policy statement?

Note that the purpose of epochs is to allow us to leave behind mistakes in version numbering, and to cope with situations where the version numbering scheme changes. It is not intended to cope with version numbers containing strings of letters which the package management system cannot interpret (such as ALPHA or pre-), or with silly orderings (the author of this manual has heard of a package whose versions went 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1, 2.1, 2.2, 2 and so forth).

and for upstream version at the beginning of the same paragraph

The upstream_version may contain only alphanumerics[28] and the characters . + - : (full stop, plus, hyphen, colon) and should start with a digit.
