The naming convention of "$MODULE-$VERSION.ppd" looks good to me.
Perhaps retain the "$MODULE.ppd" one for the current version although
I'm not sure how practical that is.

I personally don't think keeping older versions in the repo has any real
benefit (CPAN's got what isn't there kinda-thing). Then again I may be
wrong.
