Indeed, but this interpretation may be diffrent for other tools used 
downstream (i.e. dpkg or rpm). Mostly, because these tools must also work for 
other softwares.

I think it's better to spell things out to ease downstream's life. That's why 
I always release CPAN distrib with version with 3 digits after the major: i.e. 
1.500 . No downstream packager has complained with that.

All the best
