Perhaps I should have been more clear...  <sheepish grin>

Is there any reason to upgrade to a later version of a package if the only
thing that has changed in the package name is the "package release number"?
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For example:    package-1.01-1  to  package-1.01-2    (package release changed)
As opposed to:  package-1.01-1  to  package-1.02-1    (package version changed)
