I would expect that if `foo' depends on `(bar "1.0.0")', then bar with
`Package-Version: 1.0.0-git' would also satisfy the requirement, like
saying that bar has added some new interfaces required by foo, and may
(or may not) add more. Just my 2 cents.
How does Emacs itself handle this kind of version dependencies?

I'm not sure this will help with the dap-mode/emacs-lsp-docker
situation, as the current Package-Version of emacs-lsp-docker doesn't
have a suffix :/
