Just one more thought:
you could have a shell script build phase that runs whatever tool you're using
to bump the build number and only run this when building the deployment
configuration (e.g. by checking ${CONFIGURATION} in your script, or by
activating the "Run script only when installing" checkbox in the script build
phase, which seems to have the side effect of only executing during the
deployment builds).
That way, your debug builds (during your development cycles) won't proliferate
the build numbers, but any time you run a deployment build, the build number
gets bumped...
