Upstream has named their port to KDE3 kcdlabel-2.7-KDE3, so how do I go about this? kcdlabel_2.7-KDE3-1? -4? Or something else like kcdlabel-KDE3_2.7-1 (although this would make it a new package name, and I would have to use replaces/provides fields, I suppose)? I prefer something like the first one, but it would have been simpler if upstream just went to 2.8 - it's a fairly large code change, although no feature change. I suppose as a last resort I could use kcdlabel_2.8-really2.7-KDE3-1, but I dislike that in principal.
