This has precedent.


The main reason I chose this when doing the mediawiki packages was to avoid parsing problems due to the fact that people like to do ls -1 and then awk/cut out per the first - or . as the package name. I won't say that their approach is good but it was the most common one I ran into when looking at doing mediawiki117 or mediawiki1.17
 
(the other solution was an rpm aware ls like program.. just what everyone needs to add to ls .deb/.rpm/xxx parsing :).)

When I create new compat packages, I like to put dots in the version so
this works for me as well.

I dislike dashes in that position as it makes it hard to read.


I agree. It makes it very hard to see if I am looking at
