That's all completely wrong:

dmaster at bagnat:~$ dpkg --compare-versions 0:2.1.7-2.1.8rc1-1 lt 2.1.8-1 && echo yes || echo no
yes

According to policy, an explicit zero epoch is exactly the same as no
epoch.

(I had intended to remove the explicit zero epoch from my upload of
 2.1.7-2.1.8rc1-1, but forgot.)
