I have bumped y in devel for the data/experiment packages. My apologies for
not doing this properly at release time. I've taken some steps to help ensure
this doesn't happen again.

Note that we are not bumping these numbers in release, so there are still
packages with odd 'y'. But in the interests of not triggering large downloads for all users and mirrors, we are
holding off. 

The data experiment builds will run again on Saturday after which the repository should reflect
the bumping I just did in svn.
