Do not put version information in debian package name
See original GitHub issueWhen installing on Ubuntu, we are currently being told to run:
sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-003121
The package ecosystem supports the notion of versions internally without them having to be part of the published package name. It would be nice if there was just a meta package available to install the latest dotnet and all dependencies. This would also ensure that auto-updaters will pick up on new releases and automatically install them.
What I’d like to see is the install step above to change to this:
sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev
or perhaps
sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev
If a specific version is needed, there are other mechanisms to provide and interpret that metadata within the apt package ecosystem.

@atrauzzi RTFM-ing is perfectly fine. 😃 Will read through it. I was looking for a decent way to improve the experience.
