We thought about this situation. Because for different packages, the 
development  versions have their own naming convention, the solution
was to hardcode each case individually.

For the moment, when a maintainer finds such a package, he/she should 
update the  upstream_tracking.inc file with the flag NO_UPGRADE_REASON
set to "Development Version" or any relevant message and the CHECK_DATE
to the moment when the check was done.

Thanks,
Ema
