It's worth noting that changing the release tag to -1 or "a"
are both problematic. You can't use a dash in the release
tag and using alphabet characters makes it much trickier to
ensure that a package is newer than previous versions.
So to properly answer Patrick's question, much more context
and details are going to be needed.
