Add to this the dist tag and I think that's pretty acceptable. It somewhat
breaks our <int>%{?dist}.<int> scheme, but its better than having jpp in
there.
so %{jpackage_release_number}.%{fedora_release_number}%{?dist}
foo-2.3-2jpp -> foo-2.3-1.2.fc6
THen we can respin the .fc6 version, .fc6.1 w/out having to bump the fc7
version which might be foo-2.3-2.1.fc7
