Well, since all the deimos stuff is is wrappers around released software, it 
would make sense that its version numbers always match the released software, 
in which case, master wouldn't really make sense unless it wrapped the 
currently developed version of the C library, which I wouldn't expect it to be 
doing in most cases.
