introducing an epoch for src:debian-security-support



hi,

 debian-security-support | 2019.12.12~deb8u2  | jessie-security          | source, all
 debian-security-support | 2020.06.21~deb9u1  | stretch                  | source, all
 debian-security-support | 2020.06.21~deb10u1 | buster                   | source, all
 debian-security-support | 2020.07.12         | bullseye                 | source, all
 debian-security-support | 2020.07.12         | sid                      | source, all

is what we currently have in the archive and which is a bit of a hassle to
maintain due to keeping version constraints sane (=newer releases should always
have higher versions) and since rather frequently there are changes only
affecting older releases (so one has to upload to sid first, then do a stable 
update and then update oldstable to propagate something which is only relevant
for oldstable atm.)

Hence I propose to bump the epoch and introduce this versioning scheme:

sid: 		0:11~2020.08.17
bullseye: 	0:11~2020.08.17
buster:		0:10~2020.08.17
stretch:	0:9~2020.08.17
and so on.

Right now debian-security-support for stretch and jessie is already maintained
in extra branches, not sure when this will be useful for buster as well.

Feedback welcome.
