I decided to use `/` because it does not make collision with other part of NEVRA, and it is easy to parse (see the code).

@ignatenkobrain  you really mean `N at D:E-V-R.A`? It breaks backward compatibility. More sane is `N[@D]-[[E:][V[-R]]][.A]`. But I would prefer to stay with my proposal for a while.

@Conan-Kudo do you have example where `N-E:V-R-D.A` is using?
