 Is that common practice? Is there an upgrade path for it?

From the changelog:

  * added 1: epoch due to old netcdf-doc package having epoch 1:

Not sure what you are referring to by rewrite, but if the all the
source/binary package names are different then you will be able to
avoid the epoch.

Nope, the package names stay the same.
I guess then we will have to drag the epoch along with us... :/
