 name-version-revision as the unique identifier of a package, you must
 not create a package that differs from another solely by its epoch.
 </p>
+<p>
+When used in a version string, the Epoch appears before the Version
+value, separated by a colon (1:3.14-2). Note that the Epoch is not
+of <code>%v</code> (or (<code>%f</code>). If you add an Epoch field to
+a package description file, you may have to adjust versioned
+dependencies on the packages in it. For example, if you
+add <code>Epoch: 1</code> and foo-dev declares <code>Depends:
+foo-shlibs (= %v-%r)</code>, you will need to rewrite that
+as <code>Depends: foo-shlibs (= %e:%v-%r)</code>.
