Limitations: The major version number is based on the latest released version of the Ubuntu packages, so on release days you might see something like 1.3.27+daily-20110909 which would actually be equivalent 1.3.28. If I get especially behind and don't update the official packages after Monday, you might even see a "1.3.27+daily" that's actually ahead of 1.3.28.
I don't use Ubuntu, so this doesn't really affect me, but can't you use the output from "git describe" for the version?
Unfortunately I have to use Launchpad Recipe's supported substitution variables here, and while they do have one for the latest git-tag if I build locally this doesn't work on launchpad itself. The reason for this is that the launchpad recipe builders don't have git proper, but instead rely on bzr-git imports (the package is actually building off the launchpad bzr import of the Wine git tree merged with my packaging bzr branch).
Yeah it's a bit lame, and I'll raise the issue with the launchpad folks when I see them next, but it's a pretty minor problem atm.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
