It's worth pointing out that ported packages should contain "maemo" in the package version.

As per Debian guidelines here:-

http://wiki.maemo.org/Port_an_existing_Debian_package

Also as I explained here:-

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...50&postcount=6

So pyobd should ideally be "0.9.2-maemo29" in order not to break "dpkg compare version"

Code:
dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.2-28 lt 0.9.2-0maemo29
echo $?
1 (fail)
dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.2-28 lt 0.9.2-1maemo29
echo $?
1 (fail)
dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.2-28 lt 0.9.2-29maemo0
echo $?
0 (success)
dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.2-28 lt 0.9.2-maemo29
echo $?
0 (success)
This way if the package is upstreamed it doesn't break the changelog and versioning etc.
