How to get rid of an epoch?

[Amaya <amaya@debian.org>]

I'm doing a little houskeeping before sarge releases.
Then I stumble upon this:

 Rejected: jail_1.6-2_i386.deb: old version (1:1.6-1) in stable >= new
           version (1.6-2) targeted at unstable.
 Rejected: jail_1.6-2_i386.deb: old version (1:1.6-1) in unstable >= new
           version (1.6-2) targeted at unstable.
 Rejected: jail_1.6-2_i386.deb: old version (1:1.6-1) in testing >= new
           version (1.6-2) targeted at unstable.

For some reason (the changelog doesn't help much), the previous
maintainer used an epoch at some point and I would like to get rid of
it. What's the best way to do it?

Thanks in advance!
