I don't see anything about the version string in that reference, only
recommendations for the tarball directory name.

This means that we have two things regulating this: local habits here on
pkg-grass-devel and some at least semi-official documentation on the
debian wiki.

My gut feeling is to stick to the docs (I  have already repacked a
version, and having the .1 there from the beginning was helpful then).

I would appreciate if Andreas could make the final decision on this . I
can live with it any way.


Cheers!
