Why not just copy the x.y.x version into the package name,
and then add 1 to allow for updates/corrections. That way,
you can even have both versions coexist.

app-configs-1.0.5	1.0.5-1
app-configs-1.0.6	1.0.6-1

à la

cpp-4.7			4.7.4-3
cpp-4.8			4.8.4-1
cpp-4.9			4.9.2-10

and many other packages.

Cheers,
David.
