Package: coreutils Version: 9.5-1 Severity: wishlist tags -1 patch Hi! Coreutils supports building with --with-packager flags that make tools output Debian-specific version numbers.
The attached patch to debian/rules adds the following parameters to the
./configure invocation:
--with-packager=Debian
--with-packager-version=$(DEB_VERSION)
which should turn the command-line tool --versions output into:
jas@kaka:~/src/coreutils/src$ LANG=C ./id --version
id (GNU coreutils) 9.5
