Anyway, this is above and beyond doing something with sed to
fix the '-' issue.
What I am saying is that until that issue of ordering is
resolved (and I highly suspect it is unsolvable) I think it is
dangerous and more confusing to let binary packages be built,
and it is better to simply forbid it like in the current
scheme.
BTW, if we _were_ to do a sed, please do s/-/./g instead; the
underscore breaks Debian if I am not mistaken.
