[plt-scheme] PLaneT: Is there any way that I can control the version number?

I've been uploading a few versions of a package to PLaneT (it's
"foof-loop.plt"), and it's annoying that PLaneT generates its own
version number for me, rather than letting me choose my own.  Right
now the generated number is 1.3, but I would like it to be 8, since
the files in the package are already at version 8 (according to their
author's numbering system; I am not the author but am merely packaging
the stuff for him).  I would rather there not be a bunch of different
version numbers for the same package, since that is confusing; and I
would prefer to use his numbers, since they have been around longer.

So: is there any way I can tell PLaneT that this is version 8 (short
of making seven more uploads, and telling it that each is
backwards-incompatible)?

In the movie Ghostbusters, there's a sign in the background of
one scene that says, "Danger! 10,000 Ohms!" I cannot explain to
laymen why people like me think that is uproariously funny.
