On the contrary; Policy does not say that a native package can't have a - in
its version, it only says that *if* the package is non-native, the Debian
revision is the part after the last -.
This format for NMU version numbers of native packages (1.2 -> 1.2-0.1) is
the only one that provides unambiguous identification of NMUs and binNMUs by
version number alone, and it's the only one that's guaranteed not to collide
with the maintainer's versioning scheme.
