I'll make a stronger suggestion: every package using ${vcs}-package.mk
should bind to a particlur source version, via a svn revision, git tag
or sha1, or cvs -D, or something like that.

But I realize there are probably a few packages that want to get the
latest every day, and for those I agree with Lloyd,  Plus, they should
have the date in the binary package version.
