The best way to handle this situation is to set `version` to a revision number (only if upstream uses a version control system that has strictly increasing identifiers) or a date.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so blunt; I wrote that email in a rush.

Nothing is *broken* per se. The problem is that users who look at this port will be confused to see that it is at version 0.0.2 because the upstream project has no such versioning. It's up to you (I assume you're the maintainer) to decide whether that confusion is worth rectifying sooner rather than later.

I don't think switching from "0.0.2" to "2014-12-15" (or whatever the appropriate date is) would require increasing `epoch`, but I'm not sure.
