This used to work, but doesn't seem to any more… I'm at a loss.

	wheezy:		0.6.4-1.1-1-wheezy
	wheezy-daily:	0.6.4-12-0c60cc-wheezy
	jessie:		0.6.4-1.1-1
	jessie-daily:	0.6.4-12-0c60cc

Checking the 'wheezy' and 'jessie' packages:

	$ dpkg --compare-versions 0.6.4-1.1-1-wheezy lt 0.6.4-1.1-1; echo $?
	1
	$ dpkg --compare-versions 0.6.4-12-0c60cc-wheezy lt 0.6.4-12-0c60cc; echo $?
	1

So ISN'T true! What did I miss?
