I added more information to the ubuntu package version
1.0.0~rc1+yeslib201107031942.173-0ubuntu0~daily3~oneiric1 

where the .173 corresponds to the 173 commit at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~librecad-dev/librecad-dev/librecad

Users can find what version they have by this command: "dpkg -s
librecad | grep Version"

The filename gets scrubbed in the archives, and the PPAs can only
autobuild bazaar (bzr) branches, which also lose the git commit hash.
But you can lookup which commit it corresponds to here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~librecad-dev/librecad-dev/librecad

Would that work? Git commit id info has been requested for PPA builds:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-builder/+bug/620132
but it appears that they are only planning support for bzr branches
(that's why I have to import the git tree into bzr to get it to work)

Cheers,
Scott
