Why is the ~ necessary? Just do

And to answer your question for pkgsrc: it knows about "alpha", "beta"
and "rc" and sorts them correctly. If there's a tilde in there we'd
have the change the pkgsrc name of the package to one without a tilde.

A seperator makes it easier to split up the version with sed/grep/etc. in
primitive ad-hoc scripting.
see also the comment on using _ instead of ~ as separator (the "Debian git
notation"):

3.X.Y_alphaZ   - for alpha releases
3.X.Y_betaZ    - for beta releases
3.X.Y.Z       - for release candidates


Best,
