I don't see why it is more consistent, especially in the "snapshotting
rolling" case. Let's say that we release a cut snapshot of rolling one
day before Debian "n" is released. Should we version it "(n-1).x" ? But
then it would have more recent software than version "n.0"! Or "n.1"?
but "n.0" would not have been released yet!

Since cuts and stable release evolve in orthogonal universes, I don't
think that it make sense to try to merge their versioning schemes.
