Feature Request : New Column Type Apt Version

It would be nice to be able to store and compare apt version. For example it would be nice to be able to store : 0.1.2 and grab a row where version is > 0.1 .

Currently for my application I have to store as text and implement this logic outside of MariaDB using python's apt_pkg library (https://apt.alioth.debian.org/python-apt-doc/library/apt_pkg.html#version).

As an aside, it would also be nice to have similar logic and ability for RPM package versions too.

Again this is a feature request. Not a requirement. Thanks!
