Where does it come, I do not know, likely due to the structure of rpm
( debian use some tricks with ~ in version for that ).

The first example I can think of date back to 2002-4, in mandrake rpm
howto, that you can find ( in a updated version ) on : 
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/RPM_Advanced#Releasing_pre-versions

Fedora also adopted the same convention :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_packages

And i was unable to find anything on opensuse wiki for that.
