I doubt you missed it.
latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-version is really what it
says: the overall version decreases.  You can see it when you use a
'backports like' without targetting backports.

If you bump an epoch you should never see it.
Also looking at your commit I don't see it added to the expected tags of
the new tests, so I don't see how you felt like it was a duplicate.
