I would say that a date-based package should have a version number,
which is more or less what upstream would call a point development
release.  So if 0.3 is current, and they are working to 0.4, then I'd
call it

0.3.0.20130610

PKGREVISION is an abuse, because it's meant to denote changes in
packaging, not changes in upstream content
