Hi Sebastian,

Your question is answered in Debian documentation:

a) The Policy:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

b) The New Maintainer's Guide (a bit easier to understand):

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html#namever

To make the long story short:

packagename_1.2.3~xyz < packagename_1.2.3 < packagename_1.2.3+xyz

Sincerely yours,
