Issue

While investigating #1150, I noticed that when normalizing pre-release, dev is translated to alpha when PEP 440 qualifies these as distinct stages. Doing this will cause problems when installing packages that use both stages of development (which we do internally).

As a user, this is a bit frustrating for issues to be automatically closed when the problem is unresponsiveness from the maintainers. I would have gone in and fixed this except I already saw that my other PRs were sitting around, not making any progress.

@epage could you please add an appropriate label to this issue so the maintainers could have a look at it ?

I can't apply labels.

This appears to be fixed now.
