This would alleviate concerns between differences in RPM and dpkg version comparisons. Current documentation (rpminfo_state evr) points to rpmvercmp as the algorithm to handle evr_string entities and should be updated, while other documentation (dpkginfo_state evr) does not indicate an algorithm.
Example:
On RedHat, 10a > a10
On Debian, 10a < a10
