fixing rc-version-greater-than-expected-version



Hi All,

I just imported the new upstream version for bowtie2 and now lintian
gives me the following warning:

N: Processing binary package bowtie2 (version 2.0.0-beta7-1, arch i386) ...
W: bowtie2: rc-version-greater-than-expected-version 2.0.0-beta7 > 2.0.0
(consider using 2.0.0~beta7)

In general the message is totally clear  2.0.0-beta7 is higher than
2.0.0, but if I consider using 2.0.0~beta7 then my updated version will
become lower than any previous version.
Ffor example:

dpkg --compare-versions 2.0.0-beta6-1 gt 2.0.0~beta7-1 &&echo $?

returns 0 exit code...

What should I do in such case? override the warning?

Thank you,
Alex
