Bug#702792: libconfig-model-perl: error when one uses extra chars near placeholders in version specification

[Antonio Valentino]

Package: libconfig-model-perl
Version: 2.021-3+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
the cme tool raises the following error

$ cme check dpkg-control

[CUT]

Configuration item 'binary:polsarpro Depends:2' has a wrong value:
     dependency 'polsarpro-bin (<< ${source:Version}.1~)' does not match 
grammar


when one tries to use something like the following

Depends: packagename (>= ${source:Version}),
          packagename (<< ${source:Version}.1~)

in a Depends field of a control file.
The problem seems to be related to extra chars near a version 
placeholder (see also [1]) that should be an allowed syntax.

Please note that the above seems to be the suggested solution to specify 
a dependency of a arch:all package from and arch:any package in a binNUM 
sefe way [2,3]
