I would prefer to remove the 0~ prefix from the package version, resulting in an upcoming version of 20190702+dfsg-4 instead of 0~20190702+dfsg-4. This would align the version in Debian to other distros, see [1] for details. Are there arguments to not change the versioning in this way? [1] https://repology.org/project/argon2/versions
I see the same issue for dnstwist [0]. Still there is a good reason to keep the present Debian versioning as it is - see the description of the Lintian tag "new-package-uses-date-based-version-number" [1] for an explanation.
