It's a bit odd if a release tarball ends up in a distro that differs from the upstream release tarball (some people do actually compare the checksum to see if a tarball has been tampered with). I dunno if other distros have already updated their rsyslog packages to 8.2508.0 (and if they care about such issues). At least for Debian I had put the upload on hold. So from my side / Debian I wouldn't complain too loudly if you reused the same version number.
