yes, that's the problem. See also the bottom of the 0.5.5 announcement mail.

Acutally, I had changed the versioning scheme after running into problems with 
the previous one. Anyway, it seems I did not check good enough. The core 
problem appears to be that the dpkg version check gets confused by too many 
dashes in the version name. I have now replaced most dashes with "+", and my 
tests using
  dpkg --compare-version
give more robust results, now. Let me know, if problems remain.
