If I may ask, what is the reason you (Linaro) would not want to identify
crosstool-NG in the pkgversion string?

Would it be better if the crosstool-NG ID string was placed _after_ the
custom string?

Note that, for release, the 'revno' is replaced by the version string,
so it is much shorter; that is, something like:
    crosstool-NG 1.12.4

If this was to make it in, I would add:
    depends on TOOLCHAIN_PKGVERSION != ""

So there's at least one pkgversion string:
 - the crosstool-NG ID string
 - the crosstool-NG + the custom ID strings
 - the custom ID string

OK for you?
