This may be a good idea.  Do you know about packages with similar
properties (i.e. changing their data formats incompatibly) so that I
don't invent my own binary package naming scheme?  I can think about
PostgreSQL, but this is bound to upstream versions which is not the case
of crm114 (it doesn't change its data format with each upstream
version).

I hate changing binary names across releases.
