so, i was thinking about release numbers, why not follow the same
conventions as with packages?

  debian lenny initial release will be 5.0r0
  debian-edu's initial release 5.0r0+edu1 (presuming it contains
        a few additional things not already in debian lenny)

when 5.0r1 is released, it's easy to release 5.0r1+edu1. it also easily
allows debian-edu to make point releases, i.e. 5.0r0+edu3.

and of course, hopefully someday, it'll just be Debian. :)

live well,
  vagrant
