Thank you, yes, this is one of the right ways to solve this issue, and I
hope it's evident to everyone following this thread why this is the
case. :)
Please use Xiyue Deng (manphiz)'s work on SUBSTVARS for "VERSION=X.Y.Z",
and feel free to apply any fixups; I seem to remember that there's
something like a fragile regex.

Rather than reading this mentoring thread--long form for educational
value--it's probably faster to review d/changelog, diff
debian/20111005-2.1, and check for consistency.
P.S. did you forget to push?
Cheers,
Nicholas
