Does not help with people doing:
darcs get http://foo.bar/mylibrary/ runghc Setup.hs configure runghc Setup.hs build su -c 'runghc Setup.hs install'
If one wants to do snapshot releases then adding the version manually is no problem. But for a head-branch in darcs/cvs/... this is problematic.
Perhaps you want --snapshot on install/copy/register. An alternative would be a Boolean field in the package description, distinguishing a package from a repository. In the latter case you'd get the expanded version numbers, but sdist would mark the things it created as packages.
