I'm not sure that's the right solution

Ideally, V should be the upstream version label.

If upstream really is making multiple releases called '6.4', which we're 
supposed to distinguish by some other means, then there aren't really 
any good answers...

See the mess that is https://repology.org/project/ncurses/information, 
where everyone makes up there own scheme.
