One thing I was always curious about: is there a reason to use such a deep versioning scheme? A shorter version number would make package maintainers life a bit easier when keeping Standards-Version: up to date. For example noticing 4.0 vs 4.1 is way easier than noticing 3.9.7.0 vs 3.9.8.0. Another nice to have would be having the major version number matching the target Debian release.
