Hi!

This package uses a native source format, with a non-native version,
which is rather confusing and subverts the semantics of both the
source and version formats.

This currently produces a lintian error, and with dpkg-dev 1.20.1 it
will start producing warnings, but my intention is to eventually make
it error out.

Please, either use a non-native source format, or a native version,
so that these are coherent.

It seems this problem stems from trying to use a date formatted
version. The easiest fix would be to switch to use something like
«2010.09.03» for example which is greated than the current version.

Thanks,
Guillem
