There's no reason not to increment the version. You've made a release,
and have made changes to that release. Whether it actually hits the
archive is immaterial. You just build with the appropriate -v option,
and you're done. Moreover, a new revision makes it easier for everyone
to follow what had changed between a version which was reviewed by the
ftpmasters and the next version that was uploaded.
There's nothing magical about the -1 version number.
