IMHO, it's the best compromise...
In the long term, instead of modifying dpkg, why not simply change the
version number, in case this happens again. ie: if pre-2.0.8 or 2.0.8alpha
appears, why not number the Debian package as 2.0.7.99.0?
Or in case of snapshots numbered with the release date, prepend "0.0." as
prefix. For example, wine-980614 becomes wine-0.0.980614, so even if they
stop the current numbering scheme and start "real release numbering",
epochs will not be necessary...
