Thanks. Just to clarify since i got questions regarding that:

We want to use

       1.0-2pureosN~amberM

even when we don't upload 1.0-2pureosN to byzantium right away
since otherwise *if* we upload to byzantium later on we're in version
trouble again. So basically i expect all uploads that don't go to
landing to have a `pureosN~<suite>M`. Right?

Also we use `~amberM` even for `amber-phone` to keep the length of the
version number somewhat under control (and there's little conflict
potential and the additional '-' confuses even more).

Cheers,
 -- Guido
