I agree with Fabien's proposal, so long it won't cause issues with
Pacman. Logically makes the most sense. The more to the left the closer
to the upstream and feature-set.

Combining xrev and pkgrel in a singe integer somehow is feasible but
seems hack-ish and probably will need to get changed again in the future.
