I just found that some (398) packages which seem to be build from
upstream sources contain a bad version string. e.g.:
adolc_1.8.7-3.tar.gz
an_0.93-1.2.tar.gz
an_0.93-2.tar.gz
animals_19991226-4.1.tar.gz
aolserver_3.0rc2-4.tar.gz
apache-perl_1.3.12-1-1.24-2.tar.gz
apache-perl_1.3.9-13.1-1.21.20000309-1.tar.gz
apmd_3.0final-1.tar.gz
apt-show-source_0.02-1.tar.gz
autobook_1.1-2.tar.gz
[...]
According to the packaging manual, chapter 5, "the
upstream-version may contain only alphanumerics and the
characters . + - : [...] if there is no debian-revision then
hyphens are not allowed".
Because the above packages are upstream sources (really? At least
the .tar.gz doesn't contain an .orig in its name) either the
version of those packages or the packaging manual needs to be
changed.
