I'm not arguing in favor of force-tag removal.  However, bumping the
release number like this is pretty much required if you have to
rebuild a package in an older branch, which can happen for various
reasons.  I don't see what's ugly or kludgy about ensuring that the
n-v-r remains less than what is in the devel branch.
