Bug Description
This is perhaps a follow-on from bug #608959 where we'd enthusiasically jumped to version 1.0 before. Numbering that jumps forward too often causes us problems, as we soon run out of epochs! It also conveys a sense of completeness that perhaps isn't there yet.
My understanding of the current timetable/
~0.7.x for Ubuntu 10.10 --- good progress, but more to do
~0.9.x for Ubuntu 11.04 --- initial contracted set (La, Cy, Gr, Ar, He, Monospace)
with the latter possibly scrapeing through to 1.0 if we manage to debug the extra additions of Arabic and Hebrew (particularly hinting) debugged in time.
1.0.0 would then be metrics stable (extents and kerns) for the included glyphs sets and we'd start adding more experimental stuff during 1.1.x, 1.2.x, 1.3.x until we're happy enough to freeze the new additions as a 2.0.0; rinse and repeat until country/
Which would put us (1 September 2010) at roughly ~0.6.6 ish. At the point the Regular is tagged in the .ttf as 0.009 and the .deb package tagged 0.1.10~ppa1.

I'll ack Paul's description of the versioning and ask that the package
and font versions be brought into line.
