For a large number of packages, master and f14/master are identical, as
they have been merged together.  These packages are kept in "sync"
across the releases, usually when upstream is only putting out bugfix
updates and the like.  My script did not do anything to detect this kind
of scenario and play accordingly, which in this case would have been to
make the rebuild bump on master, then merge it back to f14/master.
