~deb<num1>+<num2> is used for "backports" of something to stable through
point release or security, where that's more convenient than cherry
picking a patch and upload a +deb<num1>+<num2>.
Backports use ~bpo<num1>+<num2> instead.

'ubuntu<num>' is the schema, to be appended to whatever debian version
that's based on (-0 is used as a revision if it's not coming from debian
but it's ubuntu only). <num> might be more convoluted than just an
unsigned integer for "stable uploads" and backports, for sorting and
clearity reasons (e.g. ubuntu16.04.2, that's the second (or third, if
you start counting from 0, afaik there is no rule here) revision of that
version uploaded directly to 16.04)
