I don’t know. The --from-buildd=srcpkg_vsn option is designed
for bugreports from a buildd, which will not have the package
otherwise available normally. Epochs are excluded from the
package version as encoded in pathnames, so this is likely a
user error.
I think reportbug could accept a .dsc filename as argument
to --from-buildd and then parse that one instead of taking
its filename, falling back to the latter only if the former
fails. That would be reasonable; anything else would not be
reasonable to ask from reportbug AFAICT.

Okay.

Right, but without it being made available, that won’t work
as desired ;-)

Oh, okay. With GNU make, I never quite know when it exports
a variable and when not. (I’m personally more used to BSD make.)

Wow, thanks for your quick reaction!
Have a nice holidays,
