The worst case I saw was when someone was just appending 9's to the version number every release (0.99999 -> 0.999999). I think this was a joke about asymptotically approaching version 1.0. The effect was that some error message when solving dependencies came out as "X wants version 0.99999999999, but Y wants version 0.99999999999". Very annoying!
