In the current state of affairs, it's not possible to tell that a package has been updated ("edited") just by looking at its version number.
There is a 'x-hackage-revision' field in the .cabal file which gets updated each time the package description is edited. May be useful for generating distribution packages, e.g. you could have foo-1.0, foo-1.0-rev1, foo-1.0-rev2, etc. Regarding version tags - they're deprecated and are going to be removed in the 7.12 release of GHC.
