At which point you're no longer using the exact upstream version.
You're using something close to it. There are lots of ways to do
something close to something. If the tarball is x.y-z, we could do
x.y_z-1.fc7 (version: x.y_z) or x.y-z.1.fc7 (version x.y release z.1)
and they'd all look valid. But none of them follow upstream.
I'd argue that using the latter scheme makes it look closest to
upstream, which to me is very important if I want to search for a
package by version number. I'd still be able to do find -name
abc-x.y-z* or a yum search abc-x.y-z and have it work.
