/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm.in/Makefile has this target:

clean:
        -$(RM) -f version.txt *.elc vm-autoloads.el auto-autoloads.el 
custom-load.el

which is called from /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/vm

and therefore deletes the file.

Since this Makefile already has a target to generate version.txt,
you don't need to ship version.txt in the package - problem solved.

Thanks. Reading again what I wrote, that was a really awful sentence.
