Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.25
Severity: normal
Regression from 1.13.26 (etch) - dpkg-genchanges can no longer process packages
such as apache that produce binary packages with differing versions. It seems
to think it can use the same binary package version for all packages despite
different versions being specified in the control file (that is, the control
file inside the DEBIAN directory in the built package subdirectory).

The bug is in the apache package and nowhere else:
dh_gencontrol -a -- -isp -Vnext:Major=$(APACHE_NEXT_MAJOR)
dh_gencontrol -v -plibapache-mod-perl --
-Vnext:Major=$(APACHE_NEXT_MAJOR) \
-v$(PERL_MAJOR)$(PERL_MINOR)-$(DEB_REVISION)
The first line needs to become:
dh_gencontrol -a -Nlibapache-mod-perl -- -isp
-Vnext:Major=$(APACHE_NEXT_MAJOR)
And then the problem is gone. Currently you were listing the
libapache-mod-perl package twice, once with the bad version and once with the
good one.
Cheers,
