[Distutils] PEP440 "Local versions" idea in rpm/deb?

[Marcus Smith]

PEP440 has the "local version" idea to distinguish locally patched projects
from upstream versions.
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#local-version-identifiers

e.g.  Django-1.6.4-1  for a locally patched Django-1.6.4 to place on a
local index.

Although it doesn't relate directly to this list, I know Nick (the PEP440
author) works with Redhat, so for understanding, what's the parallel in rpm
(or deb)?  is there a documented concept for this, because I can't seem to
find anything other than post releases.
