Package version naming

[Robin Hansson]

Hello Ubuntu Developers,

I wonder what the meaning is of of the package naming like ghc
8.8.1+dfsg1+is+8.6.5+dfsg1-3
When running "ghc --version" it says "version 8.6.5". Does the initial
"8.8.1" mean some stuff from 8.8.1 is back-ported? What about "dfsg1" and "
dfsg1-3"
?

Best,
Robin
