Yes, and I think it would make more sense (and would prefer it) if
Branden gave all the pre-release .orig files unique names
(e.g. "4.1.99.pre-1.4.2.0.orig"), and would switch to (e.g.)
"4.2.0.orig" only when he's sure that the orig will no longer change.
But I don't build X often enough to have complained publicly before
now, and I probably won't complain publicly again, even if he doesn't
change. It's his package, and, despite a few odd quirks like this, he
does an outstanding job with it.
