Because we don't care RC information at all at 0.10.0 release:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/apache-arrow-0.10.0/dev/tasks/linux-packages/Rakefile#L44-L52

We don't use the source archive at dist.apache.org at 0.10.0 release but we 
start using the source archive at dist.apahce.org since 0.11.0: 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/2441

Normally, including RC information is better in deb/rpm packages. Because users 
that install RC packages can upgrade to the official release smoothly. I want 
to reuse `dev/tasks/linux-packages/package-task.rb` in other projects. So I 
want to keep the current RC support feature  and treat Apache Arrow case as a 
special case.

This is needed to release deb/rpm packages for 0.11.0 with the source archive 
at dist.apache.org. So I'll merged this.
