Lintian tag: dfsg-version-with-tilde

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The source version string contains a tilde like ~dfsg. It is probably in a
form like 1.0~dfsg-1.

Most people should use a plus sign instead, as in +dfsg. It will ensure
proper version sorting.

We can think of two cases for which a tilde makes sense. First, upstream
may release a tarball again using the same version, but with the offending
files removed. The second case is when all DFSG concerns for a source
tarball disappeared. In both cases, repacking is no longer necessary. We
think both cases are rare.

Please refer to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/10/msg00012.html and
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/379 for details.
