mr. Scott,
I am a wine user for long time - I understand from start that actual system is not a decimal system - but a numbering one - so for me the difference between 0.9.3. and 0.9.30 is the difference between 3 and 30.
If I presume correct, instead of changing numbering system - maybe is better to explain this system to users - somewhere on first page - first paragraph - on Wine HQ - and on Synaptic ( or other package managers where Details appear ).
At least, it's true - the position of the last point on right can make this confusion - this point make the difference - so here is to be explained ( 0.9.3. < 0.9.30. ; 03.9.3.1 < 0.9.30.1 ...etc ).

On several occasions I have received emails referring to Wine version 0.9.3. One person even told me about a regression from 0.9.28 to 0.9.3.
Presumably, this version is being confused with Wine 0.9.30 in these letters, however I have been unable to tell whether people were ACTUALLY using 0.9.3 or were instead simply referring to 0.9.30 in the intuitive way of chopping off the last 0.
Either way, version numbers should be completely clear, and they're not currently. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
