Because if it takes 20 attempts to autobuild correctly we don't want to burn through twenty numbers like foo-maemo1 through foo-maemo20. Once we've successfully autobuilt, our *next* change will have an incremented number e.g. maemo2. and if that takes 20 times to get autobuilt correctly it should still be just maemo2, not maemo21 nor maemo42. But based on other emails it sounds like the system is working the way I've described, *successfully* autobuilt packages prevent the re-use of that particular version number. Packages that are not built successfully do not prevent the reuse. And by successfully autobuilt I'm assuming we mean successfully built by the extras-devel autobuilder.
