Testing builds have a version string that includes the most recent tag along with further version info. So it is expected and correct that testing builds after 7.0.5 include the string 7.0.5 as *part* of the version info.
The testing build version string is platform/package-dependent. The format used for Ubuntu builds is different from other platforms, for example, so be careful if you are depending on this.
