This question comes up from time to time.
There's an empty package named Squeak-Version in the image. When you 
unload a package, let's say Universes-mt.48, you add 49 (48 + 1) to the 
version number of Squeak-Version and save it as well to ensure that the 
global Squeak version number keeps increasing.
