I disagree. It should be packager's freedom what to do in this
least-significant position of the release field.
If this style of bumping release versions were not permitted, we would see
more unneeded mass-rebuilds of a package for all dists only to keep the
upgrade path sane when a new build for only an older dist is needed.
