Yeah, we changed that a couple of months ago. We were running into issues
converting the sequences of dot-separated strings (of numbers) to sequences
of integers, and then comparing the former with the latter. Turns out
str(int("06")) != "06"

You'll have to talk to the pkgbuild folks. Somehow, before the version
gets into the IPS pipeline, leading zeroes need to be eliminated. We have
talked about having a "user-friendly" version attribute for a package that
would allow you to do things like have letters and leading zeroes, but it's
not implemented.
