ruby-gollum-lib has
gitlab-gollum-rugged_adapter', '~> 0.4.4.4.gitlab.1'

in gemspec and 0.4.4.4.gitlab.1 is taken as 0.4.4.4~gitlab.1 for debian
package version. But ruby:Depends does not convert .gitlab to ~gitlab.

Please be more specific. Where exactly is 0.4.4.4.gitlab.1 being
converted to 0.4.4.4~gitlab.1? AFAICT gem2deb converts dependency
operators (i.e. ~> to >= ), but does not touches version numbers.

gem2deb _does not_ convert 0.4.4.4.gitlab.1 in gemspec to
0.4.4.4~gitlab.1 where as the debian package already has
0.4.4.4~gitlab.1 which does not satisfy >= 0.4.4.4.gitlab.1

So I'm wondering if we should convert all alphabets to ~ or at least
keept a list of key word that should trigger a substitution of ~.
