In the simplest case:
version=3
ftp://some.server.com/path/filename-(.*)\.tar\.bz2

It occasionally gets a bit more complex when directory listings are not 
available and the tool needs to extract the information from download pages
or some really funky version numbering scheme is used. The good thing is
that you can usually look at debian for inspiration in those cases :-)
