[arch-haskell] For the brave: alternative versioning in testing repo

[Nicola Squartini]

It's for the [haskell-happstack] repository, I need to update the

understand the new format introduced after the versioning change does not
support x-revisions for distro pkgs yet. Or am I not using it correctly?
