[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#750100: mozilla-devscripts: generates too-strict versions

[Ximin Luo]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.39
Severity: important

Currently, it looks like mozilla-devscripts generates Depends: and Breaks:
versions directly from <minVersion>.

However, Debian versions and Mozilla versions are different. For example,
currently icedove-dev is at version 30.0~b1-1, which in Debian sorts *before*
30.0. However, the Mozilla XUL_VERSION is 30.0 even for beta builds. This means
I have to declare a Build-Depends: on icedove-dev (>= 30.0~~) for things to
work. OK, this is not too bad.

However, the binary packages still result in a Depends and Breaks version of
30.0, not 30.0~~, which means that are not installable. I suggest we append ~~
to these version strings, to handle the case where the Debian release of
iceweasel/icedove is itself a beta or rc.
