According to https://cygwin.com/packaging-hint-files.html#override.hint,
it should be "not associated with a specific /version-release/", that's

In contrast to many packages that are adapted from somewhere "upstream", 
cygwin is the native development environment for mintty, and is packaged 
without patches. I kind of like to express that with the -0.
