Though you're right this interpretation can been derived from the
version number, it's entirely wrong. ;) It's pure svn trunk 1856.

Once again, it's not based on 2.0.1.

The whole 2.0 branch on FFADO is a dead-end, everyone uses trunk anyway,
and if we weren't in freeze, I'd instantly update to HEAD, because it
contains important fixes. With the version we're going to release, some
devices won't work. It's a pity, but that's the price for long release
cycles.

One could argue that the proper package naming should be 2.1.0~svnXXX,
but that's more of a cosmetic thing. We might adapt to this proper naming
after the freeze, if desired.
