deb package version number does not start with digit

[Temebe]

When I tried to install syncflux from deb package I've encountered this error:

dpkg: error processing archive /home/<user>/Downloads/syncflux_v0.7.0_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'syncflux':
 'Version' field value 'v0.7.0': version number does not start with digit

I fixed it simply by changing version in DEBIAN/control from v0.7.0 to 0.7.0, but it'd be great to have this built in package building :).
