It probably makes better sense to clearly distinguish those two essentially separate issues:
* mainline numbering
+ integer
+ triple integers
+ Debian-style triple string scheme
+ other?
* how to officially handle "slight forks"
+ extending triple integers with fourth integer/string
+ non-version suffix to version
+ separate field
+ no official support
+ other?
The easiest for Debian would be if you version your code using triple
integers, as that properly supports multiple branches (which you _are_
doing, whether you admit it or not!).
debian care not about deployment forks, but I sure recommend that you do support it properly - which means make room for it in the versioning string and admit that forks are versioned too - not only a non-versioned flag.
