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.
