I think you have to abstract this a little and rely on a increment
counter macro in the release field to give maintainers the option of
using(or not) and potentially overriding.  That way maintainers can
encode the integer counter into the Release field in a way that makes
sense to keep the update path working...even for wacky 'edge' cases
like the kernel.
