How about using whole number increments -- in ROMAN NVMERALS.
The next version would be Debian IV r1 (for 'release 1').
The first revision of it as a stable release would be Debian IV r2.
Actually, why not? This will (kinda) prevent direct comparisons with

special (which I think is a positive thing).
As a computer scientist I cannot support the use of any numbering system
which by its very nature prevents zero-indexing! ;^)
