debian package version revision

The version string of a Debian package, as displayed by the dpkg -l command, follows this format: [epoch:]upstream_version[-debian_revision]. Only the upstream_version part is required, and the other parts are optional. See the description of the debian-package-version inspector for more information.

The inspector debian package version revision returns the debian_revision part of the string, or an empty string, if that part is absent.

The name structure of Debian package versions is documented here.
