Comment 41 for bug 1991606

There is downstream software depending on python3-packaging to work correctly. That library is affected, too, because it checks for strict compliance to PEP 440. And, obviously, it can't be fixed by fixing the packaging library, as it does its work correctly.

Example downstream usage: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosdep/pull/909 .

Would this be enough to support an SRU for all projects with wrong version strings in bionic and the other releases?
