Even better :)
We were talking about this today in IRC, and we think you'll probably get
stuck on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29490

After last mail from Angus, I got convinced that at this moment there is no
gain in doing that.
My only point was to keep the same binary-pkg name to skip multiple NEW trips
for alpha/beta/stable, but it is not really feasible.
The other feature is only cosmetic, but given that this package will never be
installed manually, it is quite a marginal point.
I'm not sure what other thinks, but given that both ways have disadvantages:
* hashes are hard to read and to correlate with real version
* versions do not match with the real content of the package / soname
I'd personally stay with hashes in binary package names. This at least stays
as close as possible to usual .so policy in Debian.
Cheers, Luca
