If we accept that cdbs could be a sort of a standard and you don't mind having cdbs listed in your build-depends (well, watch out the tradeoffs;-), then: include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/utils.mk in debian/rules and you will get $(DEB_NOEPOCH_VERSION) and $(DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION) also, next to $(DEB_VERSION). If you want the trailing .dfsg chopped off from the latter, you can do it yourself as Thijs already suggested. > The following works well for me.

That is precisely how cdbs does it for DEB_VERSION in buildvars.mk. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
