Bug Description

If you attempt to create a milestone '0.10' where you already have a milestone '0.1', launchpad will refuse claiming that you have already created a '0.1' milestone.

This diverges from expectations:

$ dpkg --compare-versions 0.10 gt 0.1 && echo '0.10 is greater than 0.1'
0.10 is greater than 0.1

To circumvent this, I had to create a 'v0.10' milestone for the project below, but that plays havoc with the milestone graph as you'll see:

This is a known bug in some of the old AJAX infrastructure; it ends up treating it as a float, so a trailing 0 disappears. You can rename the milestones to the correct version from the "Change details" link on the milestone page.
