I'd suggest to make that 0~alpha1~r07970. Assume There will be a 1.0 version some day, then dpkg --compare-versions 'alpha1~r07970-1' '>>' '1.0-1' && echo true true so you'd need an epoch then dpkg --compare-versions 'alpha1~r07970-1' '>>' '1:1.0-1' && echo true which is usually quite annoying. I guess that is way Policy 5.6.12 says: "The upstream_version may contain [...] and should start with a digit." Bernhard R.
