The following commit has been merged in the develop branch:
commit bae3251e8ba65e1bab040802fdd4f5d424c2018d
Author: Andreas Beckmann <debian at abeckmann.de>
Date:   Sun Jan 20 19:47:35 2013 +0100

    p: call dpkg-deb with --nocheck to allow bad version numbers
    
    dpkg-deb refuses to create packages with bad version numbers,
    e.g. starting with non-digits. Add the --nocheck option to allow
    this as we might need to build a "bad" metapackage.
