I do not mind at all, and agree with your versioning scheme.
When committing changes, I ran 'dch -i' and changed the distribution
to UNRELEASED.  When it is time, the uploader fixes it to unstable
and chooses the version number depending on what is written in the
changelog.  This is how we proceed with the debian-installer and it
works very well, we know exactly the status of each package without
having to ask packages.debian.org.

BTW French translated man pages are ill formatted, and I did not
investigate why.  It should be fixed before I upload this package.
I believe also that we should put translated docs under CVS control
in order to ease tracking down regression failures.
