I quite agree. We've kept the fake '.0' for wheezy to keep old
userland working but at the risk of confusing users ('why aren't you
including stable updates?'). I don't want to carry on with that
workaround.
(Actually, I would like to fix things so that bumping the kernel
version string is not such a pain during a stable release. So a
real third version component might be added at some point.)

Recent versions of setarch can do the same; debootstrap could try to
use that when necessary.
