binary package version numbers?

[Peter S Galbraith <GalbraithP@dfo-mpo.gc.ca>]

Am I missing something trivial?

Say I have these sources:

  PACKAGENAME_VERSION.orig.tar.gz

I make a second debian version and upload:

  PACKAGENAME_VERSION-2.diff.gz
  PACKAGENAME_VERSION-2_i386-slink.deb

and other builders and robots build the other arches.
Now I realise that I used the wrong library or compiler or
somthing for the i386-slink I uploaded.  I can't rebuild
using the same PACKAGENAME_VERSION-2.diff.gz file and upload an
incremented binary number such as, I dunno:

 PACKAGENAME_VERSION-2_bi386-slink.deb
                       ^
or
 PACKAGENAME_VERSION-2b_i386-slink.deb

We don't have a scheme which doesn't force other arches to
rebuild beacuse of another arch build's mistake, right?

Shouldn't we have one if we don't?

Thanks
