epoch always wins in a version comparison. Package-4.2 with epoch 14 is considered newer than Package-8.1 with epoch 13. For this reason, I do believe you should set the epoch of the newer distro up by one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this will ensure that the package gets updated if somebody upgrades from 7.2 to 7.3. Otherwise, since they have the same name, the package wouldn't get upgraded. I don't particularly like epoch, but since it's already in use here, might as well take advantage of it.
Ok, some folks have thwacked me upside the head with a big foam clue bat. Leave epoch alone. Just bump the build number to indicate a newer package. Take the existing largest build number for the package, and bump it by one for 7.1, by 2 for 7.2, by 3 for 7.3, etc..
Does this make sense?
Yes it seems fine.
