You might want to use a version number such as 0~20140101+git+$sha1 or
similar.  0:git probably isn't even valid as a Debian version number,
since : is used for epochs.

Am I understanding it correctly that this is somewhat like sending an
encrypted message to a key's fingerprint in a DHT with an expiration
tacked on, or is this completely off the mark?
