Hi Alex and Andreas,
indeed, I think that using an epoch is a bit too much at the moment. For
instance, we do not know how long 2.0.0 will last, as sometimes minor
corrections are released very shortly after a release, and packages with
version numbers like 2.0.1 would solve our problem.
I would recommend to ignore the warning until 2.0.0 is released.
Have a nice day,
