I wasn't aware of ever having a clear answer from the release team though
I don't know who constitutes the release team. On the bug there is just
the one-line sarcastic rhetorical question.

That seems the less icky of the two. Rather than an epoch, I'd probably
just ditch the 93u part of the version and use the date stamp. Upstream
have admitted that the 93 will probably never be changed and their
downloads only use the date. I might probe upstream first to see if I
can get backported fixes (though it was applying backported fixes from
upstream that caused much of this mess to begin with).
