The guidelines for prerelease packages [1] say
"... tags like alpha, beta, rc, or letters like a and b denoting that
it is a version before the "final" number. Unfortunately, we cannot
simply put these letters into the version tag, so we'll use the
Release field for this. "
So in your situation, you probably need to do
Version: 0.27
Release: 0.1.beta.20100710
Please follow [1] for more examples. It will give you the idea.
