Debian "Squeeze" 6.0 was initially released as version 6.0.0 on February
6th, 2011 and its latest update, version 6.0.1, was released on March
19th, 2011.
The parentheses are just annoying and weak. Also, "is out on" is awkward
(wrong tense, but even "was out on" is strange) though I see what that
wording was perhaps trying to solve: if we put "initial release (6.0.0)
was released on February 6th" that's one too many mentions of the word
"release". :) So I think my revision solves all of these problems by
clearly distinguishing between Debian "Squeeze" 6.0 and multiple
versions of the same (6.0.0, 6.0.1, etc.)
