I think the policy should explain more rationales and fewer proscriptions.
In this case for example, the key points are:

 Use a Y2K compatible format
 Use a format that sorts correctly in all cases

Personally I would avoid hyphens because of the confusion, and as pointed out
if it's a debian native package it can't very well use hyphens.
