SUMMARY

Ubuntu uses this format for package versions: x.x.x-x+codename

Neon updates libzip4 and libzip5 (for example, for Xenial), and uses this numbering format: 1:x.x.x-x+codname

As result, it messes up versioning and any other repository that attempts to update that library to newer version is unable to do so. Here is an example: https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/1091

Is there a reason for changing version number format? Could it be reverted to default?

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu Xenial, Neon 5.13
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0
Qt Version: 5.11.1
