It does; it means it breaks all versions of zoem-doc. To my knowledge,
it is mainly used when the package being replaced (e.g. zoem-doc) is no
longer built from any source (as an alternative to use the "highest"
known version of that package).
There was a request for making Lintian ignore the lack of version in
such cases a while back, so Lintian no longer complains about the lack
of version in this case.
