I've got a lot of sympathy with this. When there are multiple binary
downloads or git snapshots, simply setting VERSION is not going to
work. So, unless another admin tells me I'm wrong, I'd say you are
welcome to use a fixed VERSION for the nvidia scripts. And I'm happy
to consider the same from other maintainers for other special cases.

Thanks
