In case some of you didn't know, you can check dpkg's version comparison
rules with command "dpkg --compare-versions". Examples:

  $ dpkg --compare-versions 1.5rc1 '>=' 1.5 && echo Yes || echo No
  Yes

  $ dpkg --compare-versions 1.5~rc1 '>=' 1.5 && echo Yes || echo No
  No

  $ dpkg --compare-versions 1.5rc1 '>=' 1.5.0 && echo Yes || echo No
  No
