 The PT build instructions say to increment the alpha number whenever you
 make a release using the same upstream plain TBB. This leads to the
 situation where our second batch of bundles (#8549) built from plain
 2.4.11-alpha-1 where called 2.4.11-alpha-2. In the meantime, another plain
 TBB was released, also called 2.4.11-alpha-2.

 I propose we append another "Release" number in the same way that RPM
 packages do:
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Release_Tag
 In this scheme, our first bundles built from 2.4.11-alpha-1 would be
 called 2.4.11-alpha-1-1, and the next bundles built from 2.4.11-alpha-1
 would be 2.4.11-alpha-1-2.

 I wonder if we should make it a little more clear that the "Release"
 number belongs to PT bundles using numbers like 2.4.11-alpha-1-pt1 and
 2.4.11-alpha-1-pt2.
