Don't think so. But why should I?  What's so interesting about the version
numbers?

qgis is the current release.  qgis-rel-dev the nightly of the release branch.
Both are at currently at 3.0.0 because the release branch is at 3.0.0.  The
package number is just an increasing number for each build of the package.

Same for qgis-ltr and qgis-ltr-dev - just that it's the ltr branch which
currently is at 2.18.17.

qgis-dev is a nightly of master - which is currently at 3.1.0.

The nightlies start after the initial release package - so if the initial
package needs several fixes - like this time - the package number will not be
1, but the first nightly will still be 1 and therefore lower - but there's no
problem with that as the two are independant packages.

No, qgis-full is empty.  It just depends on qgis (no specific version) and a
couple of other packages (see setup.ini or qgis-full's setup.hint).
