That just does not make sense: We enforce upgrade paths from Rawhide to
Rawhide (!) requiring lots of unnecessary Epoch bumps when things need to be
reverted (which is normal for a development running release), but we happily
allow the ones that actually matter to end users to break?
All this just so that lazy packagers do not have to increment a number (in
most cases a single-character change, in some cases (such as a minor bump or
every 10 major bumps) a two-character change, rarely more) when doing a new
build.
