We could encode that in the upstream version.  Aka to have
co-installable packages for security updates we do:

- 6.6.1-1
- 6.6.1+1-1
- 6.6.1+2-1

This allows for easy semantic, aka we only care for package names about
the upstream part of the version, which then needs to follow a certain
syntax.

Regards,
Bastian
