Here's an attempt to resolve this::

When a jpackage package uses a prerelease, use %{fedora prerelease
scheme}.Xjpp.%{rest of fedora release} where Xjpp is the integer+"jpp"
portion of the jpackage release tag.  Example:
  cpptasks-1.0-0.b4.1jpp => cpptasks-1.0-0.1.b4.1jpp.fc6[OPTIONAL .INT]

When a jpackage package uses the same prerelease scheme as Fedora, this
will allow interleaving:
  cpptasks-1.0-0.1.b4.1jpp => cpptasks-1.0-0.1.b4.1jpp.fc6.1

If the jpackage does not there can be breakage but it's not expected
that this case will arise.  The important thing is for the packagers to
realize that the only thing coming from the jpackage tag is 1jpp.  Doing
this will help catch problems if someone wants to import a JPackage with
this old version scheme or a JPackage that has a buggy version string.
