OK, the syntax with a dash at the end was not foreseen. I will check if such a
thing could be done. However WPKG currently supports dotted version numbers
already. Which is already a big step from WPKG before 1.0 which only supported
integer numbers.
In any case comparing version numbers with different length is somewhat tricky.
I will try to implement the algorithm in a way that "missing digits" in either
side of the comparison are assumed to be "0". This would solve the problem in
your case I think as "2.4.0" would be interpreted as "2.4.0.0" for comparison
with a 4-digit version number. In fact this is not really different to the dash
at the end (as in the referenced Debian document) due to the fact that "-1" is
ratet "higher" than "-0" or even without suffix.

I will investigate.
