Please not yet, if we really run out of space, we can create separate
PPAs for stable, snapshots, historical or such... (It is possible that
we move the entire package-building to Grenoble in some time, but we
will see...)

I think that is overkill in our case. We will always bump the minor
version number (0.50.2), the ubuntu1, ubuntu2... part can be omited.
That's why I think yade-0.50_0.50~maverick2 (or
yade-0.50_0.50-maverick2) is fine. Note that the package name is
yade-0.50 (not yade) so that one can isntall yade-0.50 and get minor
updates installed automatically. (The same as e.g. gcc-4.4 is the
package, which only provides virtual package gcc).
