dpkg --compare-versions doesn't know, that, however:
liw@dorfl$ if dpkg --compare-versions 2.17cvs20070426-3 lt
2.17.20070103cvs-0ubuntu2; then echo Debian is older; else echo
Debian is newer; fi
Debian is older
Arguably, it would be best if the Debian and Ubuntu packages used the
same approach to labelling CVS snapshots in package versions. The Debian
experimental version uses the same approach as the Ubuntu package, for
what it's worth.
