Eventually, the right thing to do will be something like 1.0~cr2 which
is less than 1.0. That won't be allowed till after sarge, IIRC.
For now, the right thing to do would have been 0.999, or some similarly
gross hack.
To correct it, at this point, you need either to append something or
add an epoch.
