Nevertheless, 1.0-0.0.1 is an impossible version number for a
recompile-only NMU unless the previous MU was numbered 1.0-0 (which
would be quite atypical).

You could have 1.0-0.1.1 (recompile-only NMU of a source NMU of a
non-native package) or 1.0-1.0.1 (recompile-only NMU of a MU of a
non-native package), but 1.0-0.0.1 would be quite strange indeed.

Incidentally, I don't see that the developer's reference specifies how
to handle a recompilation-only upload for a native package.  Would that
be 1.0.1? 1.0-0.0.1?
