Uscan can do all kinds of cool tricks to figure out version numbers. You basically provide it with a (set of) regexps to figure out the version number. It even works with sqlite style version numbers (sqlite 3.7.5 is 03070500 on the server). Check http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=uscan for details.
