Can we please create a git repository and import the upstream releases
in its original packed form (be it .zip, .run or .whatever) there? And
then just use epochs and the git hash as version number. This should be
more intuitive than amd's numbering scheme.

The magic command line to package this release using the old scheme was:

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="VER=14.6~beta1.0-07.11 ZVER=14.6-beta-v1.0-jul11
RVER=14.20" debian/rules get-orig-source

mv fglrx-driver_14.6~beta1.0-07.11.orig.tar.xz
fglrx-driver_14.6~betav1.0-07.11.orig.tar.xz

mv fglrx-driver_14.6~betav1.0-07.11.orig.tar.xz
fglrx-driver_14.6~betav1.0-2014.07.11.orig.tar.xz

PS: Is there a contest for weird version numbers somewhere? I want to
nominate AMD!

PPS: someone please upload if you think this is better than the current one
