Yeah, this isn't really something we're going to be changing.  See,
%mkrel used to work this way automatically... if %mkrel 1 was used with
subrel being 1, we'd get 0.1mdv, but now we get 1.1mdv.  I don't know
why, and I don't care.  I'm supporting two different versions here and
firefox is lucky enough to build on them all.

So I can't change %mkrel to 0 because then it won't work on corp3 or
corp4.  It has to stay 1 because I'm rapid fire building these by
rebuilding one src.rpm on all the platforms and am not going to start
making it more manual just to satisfy cosmetics.

Besides, you're saying it causes upgrade problems but you're not saying
what the problems are.

Maybe when we push ff or tb or whatnot in updates, someone can bump the
version in cooker?  That would probably be the *simplest* solution.
