debchange/dch script from devscripts package recognizes following version suffixes

1. for Ubuntu (dch –distributor=Ubuntu or packages built on Ubuntu system):
ubuntuN
buildN
propN
proposedN
~ppaN

All but the last (ppa) can also have dot in numeric part (N.M) for updates (usually from -updates repos) like ubuntu2.1
Updates that backport newer versions into released distribution (usually from -security repos) have multiple dotted parts like this:
ubuntu0.8.04.1 (for Ubuntu 8.04 hardy)

Proper backports (from -backports repos) have tilde suffix like this:
0ubuntu1~hardy1 (for hardy)

2. for non-maintainer uploads (dch -n):
+nmuN (Debian native package)
.N
0.N (NMU of newer upstream version)
+bN (binary-only NMU, like Ubuntu’s buildN, dch –bin-nmu)

3. for Debian backports from backports.org:
~bpo50+N (this is for Debian 5.0 ‘lenny’)

Plus + does the opposite, so that package-1.1+mychanges replaces package-1.1.
