Versioning is not supported for flat distributions. I guess the logic
is that since distributions are not registered in the installation
database, there's no point in versioning them.
Regarding workarounds, it depends on whether you need to see the
version or access it.
If you just need to be able to see it and if for instance you have a
custom welcome, a solution could be to add the version to the welcome.
If you need to access it, a solution could be to add an empty payload
and invisible package whose sole purpose is to provide a placeholder
for the version of the distribution through its own version. This way
it would be registered in the installation database. But I don't think
this is a good idea.
