Let me see:
bo-unstable unstable
old package 1.2-4.bo 1.2-5
new package 1.2-5.bo 1.2-6

You're right! I'll try to fix the rules:
1. The "bo" and "hamm" versions should get different version
numbers (e.g. for bug reports)
2. The "bo" version has to be always less than the "hamm" version
3. Of course, the list of "bo" and the list of "hamm" versions have to
be in increasing order.
I think we have to use epochs then:
bo-unstable unstable
old package 1.2-4.bo 1:1.2-4
new package 1.2-5.bo 1:1.2-5
