If upstream does not have a real version numbering and we have
to invent our own version numbers this is always a bad thing.
But in this case a very unpractical numbering was choosen.
You should always use a YYYYMMDD version sequence if you are
coding the date into the version number. The rationale
behind this si that you can easily increase those numbers but
you can not for instance a checkout of today would have a
smaller version number. I also follow the adivise I've got
some years ago to use: 0.0.YYYYMMDD - this is nearly save if
upstream starts using real version numbers. So for the next
upload I would strongly advise to use 1:0.0.2009MMDD as version
(the period is needed to let dpkg notice the higher version).
Kind regards
Andreas.
