I think you should use the number after the minus sign.  Take a look
at LuaSQL-MySQL driver.  The last version is 2.6.0, but there are two
deploy rockspecs: 2.6.0-1 and 2.6.0-2.  The difference between them
follows:

$ diff download/luasql-mysql-2.6.0-*
2c2
< version = "2.6.0-1"
---
> version = "2.6.0-2"
4c4
<   url = "git://github.com/keplerproject/luasql.git",
---

Some packages were moved to lunarmodules "umbrella" to distribute
maintenance.  Maybe your packages could benefit of it also.
