- Bump epoch as the "2" prefix makes it look like we are shipping version 2.x
of Redis itself.

I'm sorry but Dotdeb will discontinue its support for Redis packages:
- I will keep releasing Redis 3.2 packages for a seamless transition
- but I won't release any Redis 4.0+ packages
You should now migrate to official backports, even if you're using Redis 3.2. See #10 for more details.
