As other people have pointed out later in the thread, my point was
that I was _not_ having an epoch with dots in it; my version string
was 0:1.2.7:1.2.8-1, which is explicitly allowed by policy (if there
is an epoch, then the upstream version can contain a colon.) and
parses as:
- epoch: 0
- upstream version: 1.2.7:1.2.8
- Debian revision: 1
I don't particularly care whether we allow colons in upstream version
or not, but the behaviour of katie / britney / dpkg / ... and policy
should definitely be consistent.
Whether this is achieved by having dpkg-source not use ":" in the
filenames even when the upstream version contains one or in another
way is, I suppose, open to discussion.
