An eopch is there to make a lower version number seem to be greater than 
the one already available, they are added when a version is included but 
then needs to be replaced with an older one.
If you're wondering why every version after has the epoch, it's because 
once you add an epoch it can't be removed because the epoch version will 
always be higher.
