But why would we fake the upstream version and for how long should we
keep doing that? Some packages, like my geodb and possibly pca,
doesn't have versions at all so we assign something like YYMMDD to it
but in this case the end users would be confused, right?

This would also be really ugly:

20090408,REV=2009.04.08_rev=1.0
