Description:

Deb versioning compares versions like package managers on Debian-based Linux distributions compare packages (dpkg, apt). Deb versioning supports complicated version numbers, including alphabetical characters almost everywhere. Similar to our "loose" versioning, deb versioning is a "best effort" attempt to convert deb versions to SemVer fields like major, minor, patch.
