[vorbis] Debian versioning problems

[John Morton]

Anyone know how I can persuade a debian system that a version number like 
'1.0-1' is actually greater than '1.0rc3-1', for the purpose of dependencies?

As the 1.0 debian control file requires debhelper 4.0.0, I ended up building 
from source, but I'd like to put some equivs packages in without silly 
version numbers like '1.0rc99' to keep apt and friends happy.
