[BUG] 404 error when package version is dev-master

[slappyslap]

Configuration

Repman => 1.2.1
Private gitlab => 13.2.2
php => 7.4
composer => 2.0.9

The bug

We have a private package hosted in a self-host Gitlab (myvendor/mypackage for example)
When we run : composer require myvendor/mypackage:dev-master
Composer tries to retrieve the dist package from Repman via this URL :
https://organization.repo.repman.domain.com/dists/myvendor/mypackage/dev-master/XXXXXX.zip (where XXXXXX is the commit hash)

Repman answers with a 404 error. After some investigations, we found that Repman is looking for a zip file with this path :
/var/www/repman/shared/var/repo/organization/dist/myvendor/mypackage/dev-master_XXXXXX.zip
but in reality only this file exists :
/var/www/repman/shared/var/repo/organization/dist/myvendor/mypackage/9999999-dev_XXXXXX.zip

It seems related to a Composer issue :
[2.0][RFC] Stop normalizing dev-master as 9999999-dev

We add in Service/Dist.php => version() a condition to translate dev-master to 999999-dev.

Is this condition the better solution or it needs to be corrected in an another function ?
