ptxd_ipkg_rev_smaller will return the wrong value if the version number

For example:
pkgd_ipkg_rev_smaller foo_1.0-2_armel.ipk foo_1.0-1_armel.ipk
will incorrectly return 0
After more testing, I found that there were other situations where the version comparison does not work well.
I ended up replacing the implementation of ptxd_ipkg_rev_smaller() with something much simpler, albeit dependent on dpkg that seems to work well:
ptxd_ipkg_rev_smaller() {
dpkg --compare-versions $1 lt $2
}
