Thank you all for your kind replies. It is plain to me that while Craigs response was not at all polite, I did not give him enough background information for him to think anything other than that I had not read the documentation. In truth, I had read the docs and they don't state that if you leave the --revision option off it will stick a custom-1.00 string on your package for you. It has been pointed out that I should possibly make a minor bug report against the package and I will. My appologies to the list for the whole incident and especially to Craig for some of the things that were said of list.
