Dave,
Can epochs have versions, such as 1.2? We could take the existing
epochs and prepend '1.' for 10.1, '2.' for 10.2, etc. That way
the existing epochs are smaller than the new epochs automatically.
If you read the dpkg docs, the answer is no. Epochs are simple
integers, unlike the rest of the version string, and are intended
to be sparingly used.
Epochs are evil, and were designed only as a last resort to fix major
package versioning problems. Once they are used in a package, they
can never be removed from it.
