The space and the brackets aren't very nice, especially since they end
up in the filenames generated by make dist-notests / python setup.py sdist

maybe sha1hash-latesttag-dist ?
or latesttag+dist+sha1hash (starting with latesttag has the property
that the version is comparable and bigger than the version string from
the release).
