Ick. You'll be stuck with epochs forever. Gross. I'd rather only use
epochs to fix a mistake in packaging *or* a radical versioning change
from upstream. This isn't either of those cases.

    Rob> 2) Use 20.4-pre20.5-a-1 and no epochs

This is much nicer. I'd use that, though I don't know what
you get by useing pre20.5-a versus pre20.5a.
