As the automatic upgrading is always upwards, it could be usefull to insert another digit.
0.151.7.0.1 0.151.7.0.2 if you detect a problem and want go back to older code but keep the "pkg update" method, you could use 0.151.7.1.1 . Else you would urge users to rollback the root filesystems or use the ending digit ".3" for the next package version, where the number would no longer represent the code which is form the ".1" generation. Just an idea.
