This is an open topic to be discussed atm.

In general I do see two possibilities:

1. declare such dependencies to %release as illegal. Because a rebuild does 
   not make a package (kernel) incompatibel.

2. support release number copies via build service links.

I am atm in favour of solution 1., but our kernel people needs to agree ...
