Even though the the package is version 1.1-release it wouldn't be much
of an imposition to have another 1.1 "real" release, as I could version
it a variety of ways (1.1-release-official and 1.1-release2 evaluate as
'greater' versions than 1.1-release, and of course 1.2 is greater than
1.1-release also). Maybe to reduce users' confusion 1.2 would be better,
but it can't be claimed that its needed for package management version
control.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that packaging was an issue (using an
epoch is ugly but is also a solution). I also meant that it's easier
for _interested_ users to see an increase in version number rather than
complicated annotations to version number (such as 1.1-release-official).
But most users will simply upgrade the package along with others in the
distribution without even knowing anyway (using aptitude or apt-get).
