Correct.  That -0xyz1 Debian version string is the oldfashioned style.

Newstyle backport string would look like this: -1~xyz1 and work properly 
with the string proposed by Fabian.

If Ubuntu is still using the old style, you (or someone else reading 
this and using Ubuntu) might suggest them to change to the new one.
