I guess this is easier than manually checking, but that would mean
changing the source at build time, which is a huge no-no. The source
you see is not the source you get.

A sane option would be to ask dpkg-dev developers to export the
environment for the build and get the Source-Version from there (note:
a discussion has started about this on #d-devel), but still
Source-Version and Build-Version (or whatever names might have) are
not yet defined within dpkg.
