This is a Debian-specific syntax, for use in Debian package version
numbers. It's a handy way for the Debian maintainer to directly
represent various existing package version naming schemes with only
mechanical changes (typical, replacing a "_" or "-" with "~"), but I
don't think there's any intent that upstreams should adopt this syntax
directly (though I suppose it doesn't particularly hurt if they
do...).
