The same is true for a couple of other packages.
(It least initially, after the first upgrade they are "fixed".)

The reason is that dh-make-perl was a bit over-enthusiatic in
massaging upstream versions; this behaviour was changed in commit
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/dh-make-perl.git/commit/?id=f21a54b8a64578817d5e2036eef2ae4518361575
which was first released in 0.77-1.

>From a practical point of view, I'm not aware of any problem this
version mangling causes. dpkg doesn't care:

% dpkg --compare-versions 0.04 eq 0.4 && echo equal
equal

and we also never found other issues. So while this is unnecessary
and aesthetically inconvenient I don't consider this an actual bug.


Cheers,
