Sure!
29618-1
is completely reasonable.
In fact, it is a *good* version number, one that - unless they
change to git - will always increase, which means you don't need
epochs as long as you stay with the svn version numbers.
Version numbers are for people that need to see "0.8.3p3" and
the like ;-)
