I am indeed ready to do the review; But I really dislike epochs 
too. So I think that, even though it is against the guidelines, given
that the package seems to be very slowly moving, and with the possibility
that upstream skip one version to go straight to 0.47, for 
example I think that this version is right. So I propose something along:

# the version is against the guidelines. However adherence to
# the guideline would imply using an epoch, which is very inconvenient.
# Given that this package is very slowly moving, and hoping that
# upstream skip one version to go straight to 0.47, it seems better
# not to use an epoch. If 0.46 is ever released, the epoch way would have
# to be used, but we are better avoiding that if possible.

That seems to me to be a better argumentation ;-)
