Well, I thought this was only the case when there is no other option, because
the version has to be smaller than the one in unstable (when testing has
4.3.6-1 and unstable has 4.3.6-2 with unacceptable changes). I did a t-p-u
update like this (without the deb7u suffix) yesterday (for fossil), which was
approved by the release team without any remarks.

But I'm happy to change the version number if you like.

Cheers,

Ivo
