These tarballs will be mostly the same, as they will only differ by
bugfixes. So, testing different "bugfix" tarball versions will only risk 
differing via some bugs being already fixed in newer versions. The
worst-case scenario is when some bugfix introduces another bug, but
AFAIK it is already ensured that such things almost never happen.

So, I do not think that having multiple bugfix versions around will pose
a significant problem.
