Please specify Matrix version with equal separation signs

[tillea]

Hi, I'm aware that in R the signs '.' and '-' are sorting equally in version numbers. This is not true for Debian package versions und thus for the latest Debian package I needed the following patch:

-Imports: dplyr, magrittr, MASS, Matrix (>= 1.5.0), methods,
+Imports: dplyr, magrittr, MASS, Matrix (>= 1.5-0), methods,

for the version of Matrix. It would be extremely helpful if you would simply keep the same spelling for version numbers as the authors of a package have decided for. Kind regards, Andreas.
