That looks fine, here.  The only possible worry I'd have is the numbering
sequence in terms of upgrading.  When the official release comes out,
pan-0.14.90 will be seen as a later version than any of the above,
correct? (I'm a Gentoo guy tho I ran Mandrake some years ago, but don't
remember RPM upgrade precedence ordering in detail.)  Of course, if all
else fails, the epoch can be incremented, if I'm remembering things
correctly, right?
