Would you please consider versioning such uploads as 3.5~something 
instead of 3.4.something?

e.g. your second-to-last upload of r-base was 3.4.1.20170921-1
I think it would have been clearer if it were versioned 3.4.2~20170921-1 
or even 3.4.2~rc1-1

This also allows for things like Depends: r-base-core (>= 3.4.2~) should 
they ever be needed.
