That's actually not guaranteed. If 3.0.4 contains only the security
fix and really nothing else, I see no reason why it cannot be
uploaded to security.debian.org. The reason why usually
(V-1)-1sarge-1 is chosen for the version number is so that if 3.0.4
is still current by the time the next stable goes out, it will be an
upgrade candidate. In this case, the delta would be zero, which
would make it nonsensical and unnecessary to change the version
number in the first place.

Then again, I am not sure about this... just speculating.
