Maintaining the sample-lxc package I have no influence upon
other packages introducing new epoch numbers. Upstream moved
the templates into a separate github repository for lxc
version 3, so its unreasonable to consider Debian's epoch
number for package dependencies in this case.

How can I express this dependency upon lxc's upstream version
number in my control file, ignoring the epoch number?

This is just out of interest. The workaround for my package
is obvious.
