Please specify version of ade4 with same characters in phyloseq



Hi Paul,

I'm just upgrading the Debian packaging of BioConductor phyloseq to
version 1.38.0.  In the DESCRIPTION file you are specifying

   Imports: ade4 (>= 1.7.4)

Ade4 authors are using a version scheme 1.7-18 (latest version) so they
use a '-' sign for the micro version specification.  I'm perfectly aware

However, this leads to sorting issues in the Debian packaging
dependencies.  You would do us a great favour if you simply stick to
the same separating characters as the authors have choosen.  In other
words, this patch
