No, I changed the "suffix" from "-git" to ".50-git", using both the
emacs specific not-a-release ".50" suffix and the "-git" suffix, whose
meaning apparently is up for discussion. Using both suffixes works for
me, because all my version strings used for releases always have exactly
three parts, M.m.p. I can use ".50" as the forth part for non-releases,
because I know I will never tack on a forth part ".0" when creating a
release.
1.2.3-git (*) < 1.2.3 = 1.2.3.0 (*) < 1.2.3.50-git < 1.2.4
(*) not used by me
[ Off-topic, but unlike version< et al., my vcomp.el, supports both pre
and patch releases:
1.2.3pre1 < 1.2.3 < 1.2.3-patch1
The patch part can also be something like "-git" or "-1"; the dash is
key. The latter means it supports the "Debian package version number
format".

What kind of trouble? Packaging trouble I assume.
