Currently, we use a timestamp to mark the time that the package was built i.e. 2.4.0~20181122121212-1 but without inspection on the CI server, it is difficult to tell which build number this relates to. The build number is often referred to on the community when debugging or referencing versions.
We could use the distro build number for the version number, which would give use more easily identifiable versions, such as 2.4.0~S1234-1 or 2.4.0~Snapshot1234-1. If we ever needed to build more than one apt/yum package off the same build (unlikely) then we should use the release number: i.e. 2.4.0~S1234-2
