Looking at the changelog, it seems that upstream changed from numbering their versions from "0.41" to "0.4.2". The previous maintainer solved that by using the version number "0.41+0.4.2". That yields a strange version number. It's not needed, you can use indeed an epoch for that. Epochs (e.g. "1:" at the start of the version number) are intended to solve the situation where upstream changes the numbering scheme. I propose to indeed use 1:0.5.2-1 as the new version number, since 0.41+0.5.2-1 is even more ugly. Thijs
