There is no technical reason why I use $package-hg instead of $package. I'd just label what scm tool is used by the upstream. The reason why I don't use 9999 as ebuild version number is to note hg revision when I updated for myself. And IIRC, the file, DISTRIBUTORS said something like "package should tag hg revision as packaged wmii's version number." [SNIP]
