Potential problem:

If bash increments its version number, and bashdb then resets its suffixed 
version number when it moves to the new bash version, your scheme will 
break.

e.g.:
3.00-0.02 => bashdb3-0.02
3.01-0.01 => ?????

I'd suggest using bashdb-3.00_0.02, to avoid this - i.e. change hyphen to 
underscore.
