Good to hear

That should only be a problem the first upload: it's comparing the version
number of the previous 'ion3' package to the version number of this 'notion'
package, which are in different formats.

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html#namever specifies
upstream versions should 'consist only of alphanumerics (0-9A-Za-z), plus (+),
tildes (~), and periods (.)' and start with a digit. Discussed it on 
#debian-mentors, this seems to be the sane way to do it.
