Anyone know how I can persuade a debian system that a version number like '1.0-1' is actually greater than '1.0rc3-1', for the purpose of dependencies? As the 1.0 debian control file requires debhelper 4.0.0, I ended up building from source, but I'd like to put some equivs packages in without silly version numbers like '1.0rc99' to keep apt and friends happy.
