I'd suggest to make that 0~alpha1~r07970.

Assume There will be a 1.0 version some day, then

dpkg --compare-versions 'alpha1~r07970-1' '>>' '1.0-1' && echo true
true

so you'd need an epoch then

dpkg --compare-versions 'alpha1~r07970-1' '>>' '1:1.0-1' && echo true

which is usually quite annoying.

I guess that is way Policy 5.6.12 says:

"The upstream_version may contain [...] and should start with a digit."
