That would be kmymoney 0.9, 3rd version in Debian. The hyphenation is to
denote changes in the Debian package. So if version 0.9 is packaged 30 times
that package would be 0.9-30.

This still does not make sense to me but I can see why it is done. I guess then this means that I am not running version 0.9.2 as hopefully it would list this if I was. I guess if I want this version does it mean that I need to download it and do the configure and make myself?
