I'm pretty sure simply changing the name of the .deb package to blender-snapshot doesn't actually fix the 'bug' that was reported.
>From what I understand the 'a' -- i.e. 2.49a -- was the issue and not the package name which the debian folks solved by converting the subversions to numbers, 2.49a = 2.49.1, 2.49b = 2.49.2, etc... And, to top it all off, the blender-snapshot package conflicts with the regular (stable) blender package so you can't even have two different versions installed which is the only valid reason I can come up with to have a different name. To summarize, the issue is the way *blender* names releases and has nothing to do with the debian package (which is what I said multiple times in the bug report). So, not a bug and as author of the original patch I'd appreciate if the name were changed back.
