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.
