Packages that are backports can be made <ulink url="http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version">inferior in version by using a tilde</ulink>.  If the package contains additional development, a version number without the tilde will make it higher, but not as high as the next Debian revision.  For example: <code>2.12.0-1~natty1</code> (backport in PPA) < <code>2.12.0-1</code> (from Debian in Ubuntu) < <code>2.12.0-1natty1</code> (in PPA, containing additions) < <code>2.12.0-2</code> (from Debian in Ubuntu).
