Hello all,

This may be a simple thing that has been solved many times before, but I
am apparently being stupid about it.  I am packaging the newest release
of one of my packages, and I am having some trouble ensuring
upgradeability.

The version for this release is 0.70-rc, and upstream says the next
release will be 0.70.  The obvious problem is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --compare-versions 0.70-rc-1 lt 0.70-1 && echo yes
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

That won't upgrade, so I need some hack to do it.  I could go with
something like 0.70-0rc1, but then I have to change the name of the
upstream tarball as well to a version that it really isn't, correct?
Anybody already faced this problem and come up with a reasonable
solution?

Thanks in advance,
--
