It is quite an easy system, I find that one to be enough for me :)

I suggest you use instead:
http://www.megastep.org/makeself/makeself-(\d.*).run debian uupdate
I have found quite often that upstream makes a package with a similar
name that just brings chaos (i.e. makeself-doc-0.01 will seem newer
than makeself-1.50).

Because a . in a regex means 'just about anything', while a \. means
literaly a period. If you have a file named
something-tarigz, it will match .tar.gz, but it will not match \.tar\.gz
