The "build number" has a misleading name and is more or less redundant
and meaningless to end-users. It has a one-to-one equivalence with
"milestone tags" like ooo310m19. (Each released upstream source version,
like 3.1.1, is equivalent to a "milestone tag" and thus also "build
number". Yes, three ways to say the same thing!)
The build number is the same regardless of what set of patches has been
applied. On OOo builds in Linux distros you should tell what version
numbers the package management uses.

I would suggest we in ooo-build would remove the "build number" from the
Help:About dialog...?
