Awesome!

Perhaps you could put instructions for this on the home page (it's a
wiki), near where it talks about how to download xpra?

Err... okay. I'll make the next "real" release 0.0.8 then.

There are standard ways to do package versions; by the usual rules for
.deb's, I think the technically correct options are
  0.0.6+YYYYMMDD
or
  0.0.7~YYYYMMDD
(probably the latter, plus of course the package version). See also
  http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-versions
  http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

Though if you wanted to fix it at this point, I guess 0.0.8~YYYYMMDD
would *actually* be the correct thing, since any new version number
would need to be larger than the existing 0.0.7 packages, and the next
upstream release *will* be 0.0.8 :-).
