I guess I would agree if the packager does it, but here, it's upstream, linked
from http://www.fresse.org/dateutils/. There's no upstream obligation to
preserve tarballs for _any_ releases forever, so I'm not sure why this needs
special handling.

Okay, so I guess in this case I can just put all of 0.3.2.git35.3e322eb as the
version.

Yes, noted above, and reported upstream at
