I consider such requirement quite suboptimal. 1) you kill history 2) even not
being officially published, this source package is in the wild and it is a
bad idea to just reset its versioning (well unless using epoch which would be
compeltely unneeded) since these users who built & installed first version
of -1 from mentors won't get the updated one from official mirrors.

I believe this adds too much hassle and confusion for everybody ;-)
Even more to consider:
