Debian kernel packaging no longer accepts typical downstream version numbering.

[peter green <plugwash@p10link.net>]

Common practice for downstreams (whether complete derivatives or end users) is to version modified packages with a version number like

4.16.5-1+something1

Where "something" is the name of a project, the name of the person performing the modification etc.

Unfortunately with 4.16.5-1 of the kernel package such a version number is no longer accepted with the error message "Invalid debian linux version". It seems the cause of this was the following change.

     (?P<revision_other>
-        [^-]+
+        [^-+]+
     )

Reverting this change allowed me to get a succesful control files generation.
