Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
In bookworm, jigdo-lite messages are obviously changed. In bullseye, the most 
obvious change was (see Bug#988120) the failure to reuse the scan cache, making 
it worth to keep a machine running buster, which finishes much faster than 
bullseye running on a SSD.

The changes for bookworm may help others but not my paltry bandwidth. I am not 
about to offer a patch here, but it was worth a look at the sources. 
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
So I checked the versions (jigdo-file --version, jigdo-lite -v) and found the 
versions on bookworm and bullseye are reported as 0.8.0. cmp quickly reports 
that the respective binaries (and the jigdo-mirror scripts too) differ. 
   * What was the outcome of this action?
So I looked in the online sources and found only one apparent place 
self-reporting the version:

jigdo.spec:%define version                      0.8.0
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
jigdo-file and jigdo-lite should report the right version. 

I am noticing that such minor inaccuracies can compound to where in the next 
major release, chaos can become difficult to rein in. Hence this report.
