Yep, but you have to go by the debian revision minor part. Numbering
the parts won't help.

A binary NMU implies you haven't changed the source. If you change the
version number you have changed the source and must upload it too.
Thus binary NMU must have the same version number.

I use 1.2-3 -> 1.2-3.0.1 for debs privatly rebuild with optimisations.
That way either a NMU or maintainer upload has a higher version.
