Package: mercurial-buildpackage
Version: 0.9
Severity: normal

Hi Jens Peter,
I've tried to rebuild mercurial-buildpackage for Univention Corporate Server,
a Debian derived distribution based on Debian stable (currently Lenny, our next
release will be based on Squeeze).

The guidelines for derived distributions recommend to add a distribution
specific version suffix to distinguish the rebuilt package with the original
Debian package: http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines

The change you introduced in 0.9

| * Check that mercurial-buildpackage's changelog version matches the one
|   in Constants.hx.

breaks such builds, since "0.9+distrosuffix1" is != to "0.9" coming from
Constants.hx. 

It's not obvious to me, why this check was added to debian/rules, but
if it's required maybe it could be modified to test, whether the base
version is identical to the version from Constants.hx?

Cheers,
Moritz
