So, yes. You cheat. You have the buildsystem tag the repotag onto the
end of the Release field in its local copy before it builds.

But I'd like to point out that I'm still fundamentally opposed to the
repotag, as I've yet to hear what problem it solves, aside from the
"other repos want it" problem.
