Sorry, imposing that - ain't part of the version number string won't make any impression on me as far as getting simple is concerned. Go find a single debian package not having - in its version number, and that's a native software (developed to build debian). For details, see the following, then explain me how RPM is so differently simple, and then why I should care. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version So really, using %v to say "put the current version number here" does not seem like a problem for me, it allows me not to have to think about *any* files naming rules nor version numbering scheme.
