I'd like improve for cases that upstream doesn't make a release and the package stays forever in a pre-release, this happens a lot with old projects that are half dead upstream, instead of have just one counter, we have two counters, one when upstream change the source other when we rebuild the package, it will be better readable, to understand if the upstream had updates or not.
