version screwup: any recourse besides epoch?



I screwed up and released tiff 3.9.0beta+deb1 to experimental earlier
this week instead of 3.9.0~beta+deb1.  Now I'd like to upload 3.9.0 to
unstable.  I really don't want to introduce an epoch.  Is it possible to
make 3.9.0beta+deb1 just disappear?  It's never been anywhere but
experimental, and it's only been there for two days.  Otherwise, I'll
have to think about whether to introduce an epoch or to just contort the
version for this one release, like 3.9.0+final.  I hate to use an epoch
to fix a typo instead of to handle a genuine change to the version
numbering scheme.  Advice welcome.  I'll delay my 3.9.0 upload a bit
until I get an answer.
