Well, the inclusion into Skolelinux is "custom Skolelinux" compared to
"upstream Debian".
When packaging for Debian we also from time to time choose to use other
version numbers than upstream authors, because it better fit cooperation
between packages in the whole distribution.
It is not a big deal to change the version number and rebuild the package.

That is certainly my opinion: IMHO it only makes sense to include on the
Skolelinux CD what Skolelinux supports.
