** Package management
+*** New syntax for separating package names and version numbers
+
+Use ‘@’ instead of ‘-’ as a separator, as in ‘gnupg@2.0’. This new separator
+is a reserved character which is not allowed both in package names and version
+numbers.

+and support for it will be removed in the future.
