Yes it is different but deliberate. We are trying to see how well this works and
it would be the format of all meta for backports in some more or less near future.

The problem this would solve is that version numbers of meta for backported
kernels can clash/go beyond those of the originating series. And that impacts
upgrading. This required us to check and occasionally bump the meta package
upload numbers seemingly without reason.
