In case you were not aware of it, pacman provides an executable named vercmp
to compare versions. It also provides a vercmp manpage to explain how ALPM's
version comparison function works.
$ vercmp 2.1_1 2.1.1_0
-1
I wasn't aware, thanks for the tip!
The underscore system seems to work

version ordering rules that `pacman` uses results in the wanted
behaviour.
