I am not sure I like the change to using the single big tarball with
everything included, and then have each individual package build its
own sub-directory. They ship individual tarballs, it seems a lot better
to use that.

Is the only benefit of that change the fact that it will match with
what release monitoring says ?

Even Fedora, who is the original project using release-monitoring uses
the real version numbers for SELinux:

$ rpm -qa | grep libselinux
libselinux-utils-2.9-5.fc31.x86_64
libselinux-2.9-5.fc31.i686
libselinux-devel-2.9-5.fc31.x86_64
libselinux-2.9-5.fc31.x86_64

So to me, it seems like we should instead change the versions reported
by release-monitoring.org instead.

Best regards,

Thomas
