+Tag: dot-before-repack-count
+Severity: info
+Check: fields/version/repack/count
+Explanation: The source version contains a repack count that is prefaced by a dot,
+ like <code>+dfsg.N</code>.
+ .
+ For proper version sorting, please use <code>+dfsgN</code> instead.
+ .
+ Please note, however, that a version containing the dot <code>+dfsg.N-1</code> (here
+ with a Debian revision) should not change to <code>+dfsgN-1</code> (without the dot)
+ for the same upstream release. That is because <code>1.0+dfsgN-1</code> always appears
+ less recent than the original <code>1.0+dfsg.1-1</code>. Please consider the new
+ format when upstream cuts the next release.
