Seems like we are hit by this version theme often as packagers who are
also providing nightly builds.

My nigthly builds are using something along the lines 1.1_734_g3498510

Do you mean creating a branch similar to the 1.1.x type or just a tag,

Then when 1.2 is relased we go back to the problem of above so why not
use 1.2.0~a1 as the starting point and then use as 1.2.0~a1 1.2.0~b1
1.2.0~rc1
