That question has has provoked a long discussion
"Naming builds. Please???"
<http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/021742.html>
on the dev list.  I should have thought to include that link
with my original comment; sigh.  The proposals include
identification of the downloaded package file, commit ids of
each contributing repository, times of commit to each
contributing repository, configuration options.
