Isn't it:
0.0~svn1234-1 ? It is part of the upstream version, not of your
packaging.

Answering myself: here's a simpler trick:
Subversion revisions:
0~svn<revision>
Switching to git:
0.0~git<date>
Ugly, but not as ugly as switching an epoch, and you don't have to pay
the price in advance as with '~~' or using dates for everything.
And will be properly fixed when they finally issue a version.
