If you folow pollicy there can be only 0 or 1 int (limited to an
int32_t?) in the debian version:

Native version: 1.2.3
Source NMU: 1.2.3-0.1
Binary NMU: 1.2.3-0.0.1
(yes, they do look ugly)

Debian version: 1.2-3
Source NMU: 1.2-3.1
Binary NMU: 1.2-3.0.1

Having 1.2-475743537465 surely doesn't make katie belive its an NMU?
That would be very wrong.
