Hi,

oh, debuild build a pkgs despite me thinking that it should complain
about build-deps :(  When I tried:

allee(1) ~ $ dpkg --compare-versions 0.8.0-0rc-1 lt 0.8.0-2 && echo true
allee(1) ~ $ dpkg --compare-versions 0.8.0-0rc-1 lt 0.8.0-final-2 && echo true
true
allee(0) ~ $ dpkg --compare-versions 0.8.0-0rc-1 lt 0.8.0-final-1 && echo true
true

So dak will refuse an 0.8.0-<whatever> upload because it's
< version in experimental.

So AFAIU it now only the last -<version> is used:
	0.8.0  gt 0.8.0-0rc   and   2 gt 1
and not as I assumed
	0.8.0  gt 0.8.0       and   2 gt 0rc-1

Introducing -final would be one solution, but this requires
all .orig.tar.gz files to the renamed, right?

Well, too sleepy right now, to think of something better.
Any other ideas?
