This does not solve the problem. I'm talking about full version number
(dpkg -s packagename...).
The issue is to know i.e. when library may have security holes.
I've checked ldd for few libraries and if i.e I have 1.2.2-5 or 1.2.2-6
there is no difference in ldd

This is only question, how we will define standard.
I've some software (commercial with specialized hardware), which returns
8 version strings. Belive me it is very useful if someone is installing
complex system, and your part may tell him why it is not working. Of
course in perfect world you should supply nice debs with dependecies.
But the world is not perfect, and there are i.e. other linux
distributions.
