~ = roughly, more-or-less, approximately (like 05 != 99...)

Number sets the order that files are parsed to create volatile directories. I fixed and tested my build without looking at oe-core and thought that 05 was a good number as there were only a 00 file to begin with. Only later I decided to contribute back and then I found that the problem was already solved in oe-core but I didn't bother to change my fix to match oe-core because I didn't think it matter, sorry...
