Bug#971023: Version field (5.6.12) and colons



Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.5.0.3
Severity: minor

Hi,

with regards to colons in version numbers, 5.6.12 states on the "epoch"
fragment:

"If it is omitted then the upstream_version may not contain any colons."


However, this seems superfluous, as it states on the "upstream_version"
fragment:

"The upstream_version may contain only alphanumerics and the characters
. + - ~ (full stop, plus, hyphen, tilde)"


Best,
Christian
