Your example:You have release 1.1. You start working on the next release: 1.2dev-r#####. Someone fixes a bug in 1.1 and releases 1.1.1. With quite high probability, the bug fix should go as well into the 1.2 development. Thus, the problem you describe (1.1.1 is newer than 1.2dev-r####; but it treated as older then 1.2dev by 'setuptools') has an effect only for a very limited time -- the time until the fix (1.1 --> 1.1.1) went into the 1.2dev release, which would probably become some 1.2dev-r!!!!!.
Sure, but that time could stretch out quite a bit. I suppose that this problem somewhat inherent in having multiple release branches. For example, whatever we do, there will always be the possibility that an x.y.z release could have fixes in it that aren't in an x.y+1 release yet, especially if x.y is a non-final release.
