Yes. The Linoro version misuses the DEV-PHASE field, and introduces another 
pair 
of parantheses, and a pair of square brackets.  How much version parsing code 
out there will break with the new schema?  I didn't want to find out for 
10.10/10.11.

The builds are configured with --pkg-version, and add mention Linaro in this 
field, e.g.
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-9ubuntu2) 4.4.5 20100824 (prerelease)
$ gcc-4.5 --version
gcc-4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.1-2ubuntu2) 4.5.1

btw, when is -0 and -1 used at end of the Linaro version?
