No it doesn't. That only works for one release assuming we do not use
subrel with that release. Even with mkrel, we will instantly need to
bump the cauldron package as soon as it's used for the first time.

We used to do 0 releases in Mandriva quite often, and I don't think this
is necessarily problematic. If a package is a prerelease, the release
itself will likely contain the word git or svn etc.
