version/release identification for packages

There seems to be this desire to put oddball version/release identifiers for
packages. First, in FC2-T1 there was util-linux 2.12pre-3 being updated with
2.12-4 but rpm and up2date consider the older package to be newer. Now, for
FC1 the recent update for tcpdump has 3.7.2-7.1 being updated by
3/7/2-7.fc1.1 but (again) the older packages is considered newer (and the
same is true for libpcap 0.7.2-7.1 being updated by 0.7.2-7.fc1.1).
For folks just letting up2date figure out what needs to be updated, this is a
major problem. Please stop doing this.
