That would also increase the number of security related questions like:
release 1.2.3 is reported to be vulnerable, why is Debian still shipping
1.2.3 and not 1.2.4?

The debian sub-version should not be hidden, the epoch is already almost
always hidden.

Also I don't think it's a terribly good idea to have two completely
separated versioning schemes side by side in two different files (control
and changelog).
