Hi. I just hit this with the geda-gaf source package, and it would be
great if this was fixed, rather than remaining the hidden pitfall that
it is now.
The debian binNMU wiki page (https://wiki.debian.org/binNMU) suggests
using ${source:Version} instead of ${binary:Version} to avoid this
issue, so how do we feel about the attached patch to debhelper?
