If you're building packages for Debian, you should use a Debian machine, not 
an Ubuntu machine.  If you're building debs for Ubuntu, you should discuss 
with the Ubuntu developers if ~ in version numbers is ok with all of their 
tools.  If you're building packages just for yourself: I think all the 
relevant tools can cope with ~ for quite some time now, so you can ignore 
the lintian warning.
