Five cents:

What's wrong with the usual successive numbering:
4.0.x-{repo} -> 4.1.x-{repo} -> .. -> 4.y.x-{repo} -> 5.0.0 ?

I would expect some package managers getting confused with a
4.99.x -> 4.9.x transition, in case we need something out before
5.0.0 for i.e. migration/compatibility issues.

-{repo} would make it clear that it isn't an official version.

Regards,

Clemens
