Thanks Robby :-) In the case of the xapian-omega build I'm working on now (more input from the developer today so please don't publish the pending SlackBuild), the upstream build uses a version suffix but their own package for Debian strips it, leaving me free to do ... whatever I like! I'll strip it unless you advise to the contrary.
