The scheme is described here:

which is linked, along with other pertinent information for Debian
developers, from here:

If K < L, yes, this is true.

This should always be true as well.
It is sometimes possible that A.B.D-1 is "older" than A.B.C-2ubuntu1 (where
Ubuntu has continued to patch an older version due to a freeze), but for
purposes of identifying out-of-date packages, the above should be reasonable
assumptions.
