You need to document (or link to section in the Debian GIS policy) the
appropriate version to use. The current example is only appropriate for
a revision that contains changes on top of the Debian GIS packaging, the
~ variant for backports is more often appropriate because changes to the
Debian GIS packaging is not often required. The Debian GIS policy
includes this example:

"
   2.12.0-1~natty1 (backport in PPA)
 < 2.12.0-1        (from Debian in Ubuntu)
 < 2.12.0-1natty1  (in PPA, containing additions)
 < 2.12.0-2        (from Debian in Ubuntu).
"
