Andrew,
    I'm rather amused that you are giving debian such grief
for daring to use the actual version number coupled with
a packaging version number, yet I haven't hear a peep out
of you about RedHat doing the same. I would remind you
that RedHat srpms for binutils, while they are based on
the hjl tarballs, contain patches from maintainers who
are not hjl. Also RedHat isn't the only rpm based system.
So one could just as easily make the argument that RedHat
should never release anything without using 2.11.92.rh.5
or such...
