I'm not convinced that this is correct.  In the event that a
debian-specific revision of the package modifies the source, we'd want
that reflected in the kernel module identification.  so including the -1
in the kernel module version number indicates this.

It also allows the local user to identify that the module used is from
the debian packaging, as opposed to some other installation method.

can you explain in more detail *why* you think the value should not
contain the debian packaging revision number?  otherwise, i'm inclined
to leave it as it is.
