I did not change anything in the packages, I just give them a debian style version.

Problems will occur when replacing chars with other chars as the version are trickier than package names:
There is no way for a script to "guess" best version number. For example: 1.0.9-rc1 should be translated to 1.0.9~1 Ipkg is really touchy on packages versions (like debian is also)
