Do you have a pointer? Can you record this as a bugreport if there's none on this topic? The "epoch comparison algorithm" is a simple integer comparison so I'm not sure what difference we can have. Since I'm not sure what kind of difference we're speaking about I don't know whether dpkg has to be fixed or the policy. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
