The OEM firmware doesn't expose any information about the other 
partition set, OpenWrt could make use of it via 
luci-app-advanced-reboot  (but hasn't been doing that so far, as
OpenWrt installs and sysupgrades don't update the header partition
so far).

But hardcoding RAS_VERSION := "V1.99(OWRT.9999)C0 should be fine for 
the forseeable future as well.
