Yeah, I'd agree with Harald and Kevin in this case: 1.0-0.2.999 is a
horrible version string, I wouldn't have recommended it even if it had
been possible. This kind of situation really is the one in which it *is*
correct to use Epoch - when upstream versioning goes backwards, and
upstream cannot change it.
