According to pdo.d.n, all other archs have "1.4.1-1". By my reading of Debian Policy[1], the comparison of "1.0.1" and "1sarge1" compares the 1s numerically (equal) and then compares the '.' to the 's', which results in the '.' having a lower version. I don't know enough about security version numbering practice to suggest a fix.
