Package: quinn-diff
Version: 0.65
Severity: important

AFAICT, quinn-diff's version-comparison code originates from an
ancient version of dpkg that didn't support tildes in version numbers;
as a result, it incorrectly treats foo~bar as NEWER than foo.

One practical effect of this is that the autobuilders are wrongly
overlooking some recent uploads:

OLDER: net/libnl_1.0~pre6-1.dsc [optional:partial] (Binary is 1.0~pre6~svn30-1)
OLDER: net/krb5_1.4.4-1.dsc [standard:partial] (Binary is 1.4.4~beta1-1)
OLDER: libs/lasi_1.0.6-1.dsc [optional:partial] (Binary is 1.0.6~pre.1-1)
