I would say that there is no version upgrade, unless exception.

Yup.
Or someone detected a regression.
( like 'I installed foo-1.0-1 but it opened a dimensional vortex to
hell', as it happened on the QA testing facility of Phobos in Doom )

</I>
Yup :)

</I>
Or someone could help by doing QA and saying "so far, I see no
regression", or just saying "I see regression" before some more
experienced QA member do the test.
