This would help a lot in bug reporting.
This is something I (as packager for openSUSE) do not like at all. When the software has a version depending name, then packaging is a mess, as you always need to rename files and lots of stuff in the package. The software tells its version in start screen, in about dialog, at commandline, in bug reports, ... That should be enough. BTW: You can download the snapshot files which include version.
