Since 7.3.1 (which is no longer installable) you have only uploaded release

1. I understand that unstable is the place to stage pre-release software. But
this
does not mean it must only contain such. Moreover, given Debian's slow release
cycle
some users (such as myself) use it for daily work, rather than for testing new
software.
Oh, and for completeness; given this sounds like you do that (or even
think of doing this): you are *NOT* supposed to keep your unstable at a
point in time or even selectively install stuff from older/newer unstables.
This ia a distribution, not something to cherry-pick anything you like
from/to. (Except for experimental packages that is)
Even if I uploaded let's say 7.4.0 and uploaded 7.4.1 rc1 immediately
there will be no support for 7.4.0 in unstable anymore. Making your wish
moot except only for the cosmetic 7.4.0 rc3 vs. 7.4.0.
There's no "we support any random version which might be in unstable at
some point in time for time X". Bugs and other issues (like rebuilds for
newer libraries) get fixed with new uploads/bin-NMUs and that will be it.

Rene
