Let's assume that our package has revision ubuntu4 in hardy, for
intrepid is there is no upstream version changes we will move that to
ubuntu5, right? then a new update comes to hardy-updates, if we just add
1 to it it will be ubuntu5, as the one in intrepid, but those are
different, updates (usually), and then when we update to intrepid it
won't we superseded, since we already have the highest version number,
for that we add 0.something to them instead of 1!
