So this comes from:
https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/third-party/openvswitch/-/commit/bfa20c50ee3d5fb404e5d6ec2978f61dc22ca8f4
I have asked one of my more seasoned packaging colleagues, and what we
want to achieve here is to make sure the package is installed with the
exact matching openvswitch-common dependency. openvswitch-pki is an
architecture independent package, and a side effect of that is that it
does not have a ${binary:Version} variable available depending on what
kind of build/rebuild is going on. So the weird looking syntax here is
to make sure that we accomplish that without having the
${binary:Version} variable. Hope that explains it.
