Thanks, yes that will do it.

> Why do you need the form with the dots?

I need it, because it is used as a version string (for a daily build).

see:
# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version 2011.06.20
lp:~reviczky/context-beta/cont-tmf
nest-part packaging lp:context-beta debian debian

I'm increasing it manually at the moment.
