Reading the current document: Package Version ... If the version is non-numeric (contains tags that are not letters) ... That doesn't sound right. Moreover, I disagree - upstream versioning should be followed wherever possible. I suppose it depends on the package, though. To pull some recent examples: squid - goes in Version cman - goes in Release Perhaps a quick metric is that if the upstream is: 1.0-preX it goes in Release, while 1.0.x goes in Version. Another way to potentially look at it is that alpha/beta may go in Release, but *post* release letter affixes go in Version; for example, I wouldn't want to move OpenSSL to using the letters in the release.
