CRAN does not have the same parsing requirements as we do in a version (where
the _ splits off to the build arch) so they always allowed both, and treat
them equally.
Also, the built-into-R version comparator is cool:
> package_version("1.2-3-4") == "1.2-3.4"
[1] TRUE
> package_version("1.2-3-4") > "1.2-3"
[1] TRUE
> package_version("1.2-3-4") > "1.2-3-4.1"
[1] FALSE
