Yes, I am seeing that done as well.  Eg I worked a little with Google
ProtoBuf, and they are at 'API number 6' with actual version 2.3.0.

Either way, on the next API/ABI change we should probably move from 0.0.0 :)
Right now Debian simply encodes the QL version number in the name as the
three digits have never changed from 0.0.0.  That too, is common.  

Either way should work for me.  Not sure what is best / least work for you
and QL.
