But that would then imply that both releases are the same source, just
different "builds", i.e., compiled on different occasions from the same
source.  That is not true.  If you release an altered source code, then it
should get a new version.

I think it would be preferrable if "jdbc" appeared somewhere in the name.
There may be other contexts in which a jar appears in relation with
postgresql.
