The upstream version of a Debian package can be deterministically extracted from the package version, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debi an-policy/#s-f-version for the format.Unless it's 4:2.0+really1.1.
Yeah. The language about avoiding epochs has (IMO) led to some crazy suboptimal versioning as an alternative, to the point that it's not generally possible to assume that the real upstream version number can be extracted from the debian version.
