Maybe we could set aside "~~~" for such uses. ~pre is not going to be foolproof.
I am *very* happy that ~deb sorts later than ~bpo, as that updates a backport to a stable / oldstable / oldoldstable update. But that was sheer luck. This is not true for ~pre, but would work for ~~pre or ~~~~whatever...
