$ dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.9+release-1 gt 0.9.9+git2012426-3 && echo greater
greater

So you could call this one 0.9.9+release-1 and avoid having to use an
epoch.  0.9.9.0+git2012415-1 would also work.  It seems a shame to
introduce an epoch for a case like this where the version numbers are
going to increase pretty soon beyond the troublesome case.
