In Debian the version is 0.9.6-1 where 0.9.6 is the DOLFIN version and
-1 is the revision in Debian. When creating a new package it is common
to increase the Debian revision by 1 and then add some suffix
afterwards, in this case ~ppa1~lucid1. This ensures that if version
0.9.6-2 is later added to Lucid then this package will be preferred
over the package from the FEniCS PPA. This is because 0.9.6-2 >
0.9.6-2~ppa1~lucid1:

  $ dpkg --compare-versions 0.9.6-2 gt 0.9.6-2~ppa1~lucid1 && echo Yes!
  Yes!
