Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.19
Severity: normal

deb-control.5:
       Version: <version string>
              Typically, this is the  original  package's  version  number  in
              whatever  form  the program's author uses. It may also include a
              Debian revision number (for non-native packages). If  both  ver-
              sion  and revision are supplied, they are separated by a hyphen,
              `-'. For this reason, the original version may not have a hyphen
              in its version number.

This differs from the description given in current policy, which says
that the upstream version can contain a hyphen, unless there is no
Debian revision.  I guess there is a new relaxed requirement?
