The way version resolving works with Debian packages is that ~ is a universal "lower than" modifier. So 1.0-1~foo is older than 1.0-1. This is useful for allowing packagers to create preview releases of packages, which will be upgraded to "real" versions when the opportunity arises. So -2~pre1 is newer than -1~pre2, and both are older than -2
