pear packages adhere to very strict standards and versioning
requirements is part of that.  All pear packages are very specific
about versioning requirements.  There is even a built in option in the
pear command to list out these requirements which will probably be
used by the php-pear-PEAR-Command-Packaging package.

Please do not ask me to lower the quality standards that pear packages
expect by not providing this information in my spec files.
