5.6.11 Version
[...]
Note that the purpose of epochs is to allow us to leave behind
mistakes in version numbering(1) , and to cope with situations where the
version numbering scheme changes. It is not intended to cope with
version numbers containing strings of letters which the package
management system cannot interpret (such as ALPHA or pre-)(2)

DP is a bit misleading here (IMO or is it me not being a native english
speaker), is it the case of (1) or (2)?
I thought it was (2)

or do you mean I should use something like 1.1.20040104-1 (which other
packages use)
