The upstream tag 2015.1.0b3, in Debian, should be translated as 
2015.1~b3. [They do this way because of many limitation in PyPi.] 
Unfortunately, there's no support for the ~ char in Git, so I replaced 
it with the _ char when tagging.

So, to use a beta release, just do that...

Only when you're packaging a beta version. Right now, the final release 
for Kilo has been released (ie: 2015.1.0), so you don't need to retag.

No. 2015.1.0rc1 should be re-tagged as 2015.1_rc1, and in your 
debian/changelog, use 2015.1~rc1.
