Indeed, in fact, where there will be a 1.1betax i'll use the 1.99-1+betax version number, that is really clear, and shorter than a 0.99-1+1.0-beta4 but in fact, the non-official debian repository where i dput my packages atm had a q&dirty package named 1.0-beta1 and I had to produce version numbers greater than this one (the historical thing) starting with 1.0, my version numbering will follow a +betax scheme
I strongly recommend that you follow the "0.99+1.0beta4-1" scheme that was suggested. Yes it's long, but it's also correct, flexible, and proven. In summary, the format is [last_stable_version]+[experimental_version]-[package_version]. Please use it, starting with your existing packages, before they go into the official archive. Now is the time to get things right.
