That's a start.

I've already suggested something like this in a previous thread. I
thought about a distribution epoch for all packages, so that official
packages are always newer than backported packages. This would need
some rpm changes, so that a package built on 9.2 would have an epoch
of 92 and one build on 10.0 would have epoch 100. But this would be a
problem with packages that already has an epoch, as you can use only
integer numbers for the epoch tag.
The problem of your naming is that you have to change it by hand. I'd
like to rebuild a cooker package on a stable distribution version and
have it's release changed automatically.
