What would you do then if the upstream version is bumped, but the 
patchset/Makefile would still differ between the master and branch? In 
this case, you bump PKG_VERSION to 0.12.2, but if you restart the 
PKG_RELEASE from 1 for both the branch and the master you end up with 
two different "0.12.2-1" packages in let's say 21.02 and 19.07.
