Sure, quite a valid point, thanks. I confirm that -V was pretty much 
exaggerative in that case, since in my experience, upstream understands and 
manages versioning quite well. They are also part of the debian packaging 
effort. Should -V be needed in the future, we can always add it. Now removed.

If no other remarks arise until Friday, I intend to upload 1.12.10-2 to 
experimental.
