Do you have any suggestions?

FreeBSD's port is named lapack-3.0 although it appears to not be 3.0
(since it has update).

Debian's package is named lapack 3.0.20000531a-25.

The official RPM from http://www.netlib.org/lapack/rpms/ is named
lapack-3_0-2_src.rpm.

Since the official RPM is called "3_0-2" then we should use same, like:
"3.0.2" maybe.

I don't know about using a small version number now though. But maybe it
will be okay.
