then in your debian/rules build rule, you can do something like:
    

  
MY_VERS=`head -n 1 debian/changelog | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 |
cut -d'-' -f1`
MY_DEB_REL=`head -n 1 debian/changelog | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 |
cut -d'-' -f2`
MY_PKGNAME=`head -n 1 debian/changelog | cut -d' ' -f1`
    

dpkg-parsechangelog makes this somewhat easier and more robust.

Yes, but I'm using this in both deb and rpm building, and of course,
dpkg-parsechangelog is not available in RPM based distros.
