Other parts of the spec refer to things such as "later versions". For
any of that to make any sense, we need a well defined order.

Also, this adds the concept of an epoch to help us cope with versioning
mistakes, version scheme changes, and silly mod author versioning
schemes.

This is almost completely stolen from the Debian software policy, which
certain debian-specific and complicated bits removed.

You rock, thank you!

Just to check, with the current version system, should one have :1.23 as a version number (ie: leading colon) or is 1.23 acceptable for a zero epoch? (The current spec implies the further, but common sense would imply the latter).

+1 for finding how Debian does it. :)
