Packages that are built from vcs but which are based on some form of upstream "release" should not include the tag in the package name.
I think the simplest rule of thumb would be that if the same PKGBUILD generates different binary packages depending on when makepkg was run, then it should include the suffix in the name.
These two rules are not the same. For instance the package xbmc-svn [1] is based on fixed svn version that does not corresponds to any "release" upstream. It is just tested svn revisions (by the packager) as not every revisions are usable. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20156 -- Cédric Girard
