They're only the same within a specific community's versioning scheme.
The whole reason find_package loads package-provided version check
files is to avoid imposing a versioning/compatibility scheme. If
we provide a template then we should name it after the scheme it
follows.
Provide a module with macros to generate version files with different
common schemes. Use configure_file with CMakeConfigurableFile.in as
the input if you don't want a custom .in file.
