It isn't standard practice.  I agree with Peter on this.

Also, as I have asked before, please make sure that future releases sort
in the correct order.  It makes life much easier for those of us who
make packages and the many users who install packages.

The cycle of releases we have had were:
7.4beta[1-5]
7.4RC[12]
7.4

These sort in reverse (ASCII) order to their real priority.

So the series of Debian packages were numbered:
7.3.99.7.4beta[1-5]
7.3.99.7.4rc[12]
7.4

I hope users who were tracking these understood the relationship between
Marc's numbers and mine.
