Yes. If you need to use the version number of the module itself

a build revision, then we can use something like:
Provides: kernel-module-openafs-version = 0.6.3
This seems yicky.
What if we do this, and so we're providing kernel-module-openafs-version =
1.3.84, and then the upstream decides to do a bugfix release and call it
1.3.84.1? With your scheme, our old kernel module was *already* 1.3.84.1.
Why *not* just put package release #s in the package release #?
