Hmm, what is it common to have "git" before the date? What if upstream
switches to a different VCS? Wouldn't you then need e.g.

fluxbox 1:1.1.1+bzr20110412

to make sure your new version is actually newer? To me it would sound
more logical to use something like

fluxbox 1.1.1+20100908git.df2f51b-2

instead.
