I will give you one if you can explain to me what it should try to convey:
Upstream-version starting with a digit: mandatory, recommended, or neither?
If `recommended', when? why?
Ditto with debian-revision.
During comparison of non-digit strings, the empty string always
compares less than a nonempty string: true or false?
During comparison of digit strings, the empty string compares equal to
"0": true or false? (this one seems clear already: true)
To help me in case I missed a question: is the behavior of `dpkg
--compare-versions' correct by definition?
