Message:

Don't put an epoch in the Debian "spoofed" version number. Debian's now
barfing on the "1:bzr-devel-xx" version numbers generated by the nightlies
builder (due to "bzr" not being a number) so I have to think of something
else.

The main reason for using epochs was so "bzr-devel-xx" will be considered
newer than "3.0.2". ASCII-wise this should be the case even without epochs
but okay, it made sense to do this anyway to avoid apple-orange comparisons.

Now I'll try switching to package version numbers like 3.0.2+devel+xx-0. No
need for epochs then, plus 3.0.3 will actually win over 3.0.2+devel+xx-0 when
it should.

This does probably mean that people who still have 1:bzr-something installed
won't be upgraded automatically, I guess I'll try to let everyone know via
Twitter, etc..
