I suggest using version numbers compatible with [SemVer][0]. It doesn't
strike me as incompatible with Debian versioning and brings some
interesting programmatic advantage to manage dependencies upstream.

If upstream is v0.1.0, you could use: 0.1.0-jude[-devuan-version].
`-devuan-version` would be preceded by a hyphen per the Debian
documentation that was provided in this thread.

The package then would show, e.g., 0.1.0-jude-jessie1.
