Ok. I always use upstream source archive instead of a downloaded gem.

I don't mark packages that actually use source from the upstream archive
with a special tag. And I don't think it is neither necessary nor a good idea
to add extra version sections (I personally have enough trouble keeping
up with (+|~)(dfsg|ds|debian)).

This is the first time that I have seen such a versioning scheme.
