Yes, it's really version 8.1.369.

This specific package is built using Launchpad's Recipes feature [1]
which combines the debian/ packaging files from one git repo [2] with
the upstream sources from another [3]. This feature triggers automatic
builds when there's a change.

The Recipes feature only allows certain values to be used in the
generated version number [4], one of which is the Git tag, but because
tags start with a "v" I have to hack the versioning slightly. The last
version I refreshed the packaging files for was 8.1.349 so that forms
the version number "root", the upstream tag provides the "really"
version number (with leading "v").

It's essentially a CI system for packaging which is quite handy for
Vim's release model.
