I also would also like to vote for 1.5.2+really1.4.5-1 rather than an epoch. This seems like a temporary transitional problem more suitable for a fancy version rather than an epoch. The current problem will eventually be past us but an epoch is forever. The epoch is really more suitable for when version schemes change significantly such as going to or from dates as versions and that type of thing which have no end and therefore require an epoch to correct.
