I've started using point release ids for things I'm intending to send to
Mandrake that I put up e.g. fluxbox-0.1.12-3.1mdk and brs for things I
don't ever intend to submit to mandrake, e.g.
xscreensaver-4.06-1.1brs.i586.rpm

This should avoid versioning conflicts more than likely.  And if
Mandrake doesn't end up shipping your version they don't have to skip a
release so as not to confuse the two...
