This patch makes the 3rd number optional.

Will forward to Debian as soon as it's accepted in Ubuntu (we already have a diff in any case)

Looks good, uploaded. Thanks!

Actually this fix seems incorrect for older releases. It adds an additional bracketed section which is not allowed for by the consumer and also shifts the -x.y part incorrectly into the third digit field which could lead to incorrect version matches. Here is some testing output from the _original_ code:

  $ ./X
  2.6.1-10.0 -> 2>6>1>-10.0
  Kernel version is unsupported (too old, >= 2.6.5 needed)
  2.6.39-20.1 -> 2>6>39>-20.1
  3.0-5.1 -> >>>
  Kernel version is unsupported (too old, >= 2.6.5 needed)
  $

From the code as uploaded in 1:3.2.0-1ubuntu2:

  $ ./X
  2.6.1-10.0 -> 2>6>.1>1
  Kernel version is unsupported (too old, >= 2.6.5 needed)
  2.6.39-20.1 -> 2>6>.39>39
  Kernel version is unsupported (too old, >= 2.6.5 needed)
  3.0-5.1 -> 3>0>>
  $

From the modified fix:

  $ ./X
  2.6.1-10.0 -> 2>6>1>-10.0
  Kernel version is unsupported (too old, >= 2.6.5 needed)
  2.6.39-20.1 -> 2>6>39>-20.1
  3.0-5.1 -> 3>0>0>-5.1

Will prepare a branch with this applied which should appear connected to this bug.

Patch to fix this up (also applied in the linked branch).
