versiontools handles this case correctly. The snapshot, created with sdist, will have proper revision information along with it (in the PKG-INFO file). Versiontools will fetch it. As for alphas, betas and more: this is supported but the __version__ needs accurately convey this information.

There is a package but I've never pushed it to Ubuntu. I'll see what I can do about that.
