I mostly agree to Colin's points, in particular that we should keep
them smaller than -1, and that we should keep the revision part.

I actually like -0maverick1. It makes it clear that this is not a
Debian or Ubuntu package, and it provides a straightforward naming
schema for uploading/building the same package for different Ubuntu
releases (which will happen often).
