Hi everyone,

I know this comes a little late, and I don't really ave the time to
introduce myself right now, but I would like to back on the 1.2.18-a1
/ 1.2.18 proposal. It seems to me that it is the most intuitive and
widely used.
If your only concern is to be compatible with debian's scheme, the
tilde was introduced for this reason: it is the only character smaller
than the empty string, meaning that
  1.2.18~ < 1.2.18 < 1.2.18-
and therefore that
  1.2.18~a3 < 1.2.18~b2 < 1.2.18~rc1 < 1.2.18 < 1.2.18-p1

You can even formally call the package 1.2.18-a1 and give the deb the
number 1.2.18~a1, I don't think anyone would get confused.

As soon as I have more time I will try to do more fundamental contributions.
