If the top version in git-annex's debian/changelog is not a valid Cabal
version (for instance if it's been binNMUed, or modified by a
derivative), Setup fails with "Setup: git-annex.cabal:2: Parse of field
'version' failed". Build/Configure.hs effectively encodes a requirement
that the Debian changelog version must only take certain forms.
I suggest stripping off anything from the tail of the changelog version
that isn't a digit or '.', perhaps like this (apologies, my Haskell is
pretty rough):
* Build/Configure.hs: Only take characters from the changelog version that
are valid in Cabal versions.
