No it can't:
Debian Policy[0] 5.6.11. `Version':
The <upstream_version> may contain only alphanumerics[1] and the
characters `.' `+' `-' `:' (full stop, plus, hyphen, colon) and
should start with a digit. If there is no <debian_revision>
then hyphens are not allowed; if there is no <epoch> then colons
are not allowed.
So although dpkg might support it, you're not actually permitted to use
it until Policy is updated. (As I Understand Things)
