me personally dislike the +really versions, because IMO it is harder to parse 
for humans, but I'm fine with doing an upload with that version number. And 
the other solution having a different package name is also not a nice 
solution. Aurélien ping me, if you updated the version number and the package 
is ready again for upload.
