It doesn't seem to make any sense to do this, although I know I had a reason when I sent this report. Here it goes:

The reasoning behing the BR was to allow a new upstream tarball to have a version with a screwed up versioning number that goes backwards.

This is common when the developer anticipates the new upstream release and prepares a few unreleased changes, and later upstream releases with a version number that precedes the ones used by the packager for the unofficial preparation versions.
