Indeed. Various third-party packaging systems (e.g. FreeBSD ports) get
*very* confused when distributions change without a change in version
numbers.
Even though you only changed the docs, just bump the version number, and
document in your Changes file what happened, and that people don't
necessarily need to upgrade.
Appending additional digits, as Shlomi suggested, is not optimal, since
it can lead to ambiguity when you remove those digits again. E.g. when
comparing 0.0101 and 0.02, it is not universally clear which is higher.
There is at least one packaging system out there that *will* get it wrong.
