Which leads me to another problem: backported packages: Projects like
plf sometimes need to backport cooker or contrib packages to the
stable distribution. This can lead to problems when upgrading to the
next stable distribution, when the release number of the package
didn't change. Here's an example:


It would be nice if packages would include an implicit epoch tag, so a
package build on 9.2 will always be newer than one for 9.1 with the
same version and release tags.
it would conflict with epochs set for other purposes

when i backport i usually change the release to 0.release
we could have all packages have a release of <distver>.<release>mdk ?
