+That's the usual mandriva approache to have one default branch 
+(unversioned), and non-default ones (versioned). See Openldap, mysql, 
+php, cfengine, etc... The goal is 'keep it stupid simple as long as 
+possible'.
+
+The 'let's version every package right from the start', as done in 
+postgresql, is rather the exception here. That's Debian practice, tough.

+What's the problem if it is documented, and non-destructive ? Also, you 
+can wait one or two release before changing default version.
