There is no requirement that 3rd parties provide a suffix. Even if
there were such a requirement it would be impossible to enforce.  If
this sort of thing is going to continue to confuse you, I suggest you
check the Vendor/Packager tag and the gpg signature for that gsm-devel
package to determine who made that package, and contact the packager
and tell them that you prefer it if they continued to use a suffix in
the release field.
