IIRC the right way of writing the full version was supposed to be: X.Y rZ with a space before the r, to emphasise the point that the revision number is largely irrelevant to users when it's so easy to use apt-get to go from one revision to the next. Obviously it's a bad idea to have spaces in filenames, hence the underscore. I tend agree with Anne about dropping the underscore, on the basis that debian2.2r0 is a valid MSDOS style 8.3 name, whereas debian2.2_r0 is not. That said, I still think we should write it as X.Y rZ (or more often write it without the revision, unless it actually matters) when it's not part of a filename. Of course this does break Joey's assumption that we can look for an underscore to determine the version number when looking for the dedication, so add-bin-doc will need to look for an ``r'' instead. Cheers, Phil.
