So it would be better for me too to leave out the "+" character. It would take care of the function I lost when removing the "~" character. Is that correct?stevepusser wrote:I changed ~bpo9+1 to bpo9 because the OBS doesn't recognize the "+" symbol in package versions, but it's a cosmetic change. An official stretch-backports package with the "+1" will then update over mine if anyone ever does one, though.

Not recognizing the "+" is just a pecularity of the OBS. What is more important the the Debian versioning system ranks the tilde "~" symbol as lower than any other, so that guarantees that a backports version will be seen as lower than the equivalent version in the next stable release. Since you aren't concerned about that, (like we aren't at MX, either) you can go on with your homebuilt version, it should work just fine.
So the versioning system sees foo-1.2-3 > foo-1.2-3~bpo9+1 > foo-1.2-2
