We preserve the upstream version string by setting the
pkg.human-version attribute in the package manifest:

$ pkg contents -m openssl | grep pkg.human-version
set name=pkg.human-version value=1.0.1j

pkg(1) displays this in parentheses following the component version
when the 'info' subcommand is used:

$ pkg info openssl | grep Version
       Version: 1.0.1.10 (1.0.1j)
