The `pkgrel' must be an integer incremented by 1, but there are no
defined format for `pkgver'. So why not using `pkgver_xrev-pkgrel' in
which `pkgver_xrev' is the `pkgver' defined in the PKGBUILD? It is
allowed to do so, will be strictly incrementing and respecting PKGBUILD
rules.

PS: underscores are allowed (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#pkgver)
