Where should this version come from?  I think the feature you're
describing works like:

  1. Install Debian.
  2. Triage bugs, and find a bug.
  3. Confirm that this bug does not exist in the version of the package
  that is installed.
  4. Run this "bts" which basically means "close the bug, it's fixed on
  my installation".

The main pitfall that I can think of is the case where the bug is fixed
in an older package version, but present in the newer.

I'm guessing you don't mean getting a fake version from rmadison.
Alternatively, isn't there somewhat of a convention for tag
+unreproducible bug-done@d.o?  In this case, it also doesn't seem like
you'd want a Version pseudo-header.

Cheers,
Nicholas
