Policy seems to say that:
1 << 1- ("The absence of a debian_revision compares earlier than
the presence of one")
However, dpkg thinks they are equal.
1-, according to the policy manual, should be broken apart at the last
hyphen in the string into an upstream_version of "1" and a debian_revision
of "".
I suggest just adding a note that an empty debian_revision is not
allowed, i.e., there must always be a character after the hyphen. I
think this reflects current practice.
