As it does allow for a "-" if there's a debian revision. In this case
we'd have to make the regex dependent on the current version of the

Did you actually encounter a package with a colon in the version number?
Otherwise I'd leave things as is (+ allowing for uppercase version
numbers and package names) and fix up the rests when we hit it.
