I still consider myself Debian packaging newbie but I think the rc1 in 
name causes trouble for debian naming. Basically 1.0.0anything is 
considered greater/newer version than plain 1.0.0.

Any Debian expert here? How should I properly name rc1 package so final 
1.0.0 is greater and will be offered as upgrade?

$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0.0 '>' 1.0.0rc1 && echo true || echo false
false
$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0.0 '>' 1.0.0+rc1 && echo true || echo false
false
$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0.1 '>' 1.0.0 && echo true || echo false
true
