Neither versioning scheme (epoch vs. 0.0) solves that issue.  The use of the
date without any other sort of prefix for the snapshot presents and awkward
situation.  We can thank upstream for this.  There is no perfect solution that
solves all of the problems.  We'd have to have the cooperation of all Wine
packagers to come up with one.  A lot of how we should proceed would depend upon
whether or not we intend to package snapshot versions after the beta is
released.  My thinking is this:

Use epoch=0 and version=snapshot date for now
Bump epoch when the beta is released
Suffix '-0' to all non-snapshot releases, prior to the release #
Prefix the last release to any snapshot packages (eg. wine-0.9-20060101-0:1)

I may be missing something, but it seems like this would fix most problems. 
Third-party packagers would need to use the the same method in order to avoid
trouble, but that really isn't our concern, IMHO.

wine-20050101-1:0 < wine-0.9-0-1:1 < wine-0.9-20060101-1:1 < wine-0.9.1-0-1:1 <
wine-1.0-0-1:1
