Lot of people said:

epochs last forever, and most people consider them an ugly thing.
Moreover, there is a paragraph in the policy saying that epochs are not
for dealing with "pre" version numbers.

If there is something to solve here, "2.0.7r" would be a better solution,
IMHO, because at least it would allow us to get rid of both the epoch and
the "r" thing in "2.0.8".

But I believe that most of our users will agree that 2.0.7-1 is a much
nicer version number than 2.0.7r-1 and would not mind to install a few
packages by hand just *once*.
