Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-05-07 16:11:28 CEST 
dpkg handles release numbers differently from RPM when computing Requires/Depends lines. If the number if missing, it is implicitly assumed to be 0. This breaks our current trivial conversion from RPM to deb.

"<" is also equivalent to RPM's "<=", so we are doing the wrong thing there as well. Debian recommends "<<" for new packages to avoid confusion.
