But then, for the time being, you can take care of this weird ordering
with prev and cutrr markers, right?

Well, apart from "me, no perl", me neither.  Nevertheless I looked into
upset briefly (I'm tainted anyway), and it turns out that the version
number handling is entirely hand-made.  Version.pm is a 85 lines perl
script, providing two functions, Normalize($;$) and Sort(\@)

Your suggestion was to change upset to use the version handling lib
from http://search.cpan.org/~jpeacock/version-0.9912/lib/version.pod,
right?

Is anybody here willing to rework a set of perl scripts to improve the
version handling :}
