It's possible, you just have to put the increment number before the
"type" of upload:
- +c0.nmu (non maintainer upload)
- +c1.sec (security upload)
- +c2.su (stable update)

Unfortunately "+0.nmu" sorts before "+b1" so I had to put "+c0.nmu" so
that binnmu sort lower. And "c" could mean "change" or "external change".
