Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.22.8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

It looks like recent changes to dpkg-dev affects a bunch of packages
that I maintain.

Concretely, the package radicale now fails to build, as it passes an
empty version number to help2man. This was reported as bug#1076915.
Seemingly related bug#1076568 made me try downgrade dpkg-dev, and
indeed with dpkg-dev 1.22.6 the variable DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM_REVISION
again resolves correctly.

It looks like recent dpkg-dev offers variable expansion only inside
make rules, not for make code declares "at the core", outside of make
rules.

Many of the packages I maintain rely on the ability to resolve variables
also at the core of the makefile. I am not furiously against changing my
packaging patterns, but I imagine I am not the only one, so I guess such
change needs more care and documentation (or perhaps just pointing me to
the elaborate documentation that I have totally missed).

Kind regards,

 - Jonas
