Bug#213016: main-menu: Display version of d-i in the main menu header



Package: main-menu
Version: N/A; reported 2003-09-27
Severity: normal

To help users identify the version of debian-installer in use, the
version number could be displayed in the main-menu header.  This would
help developers to know whether a reported bug has already been
addressed.

The following patch is probably not complete, because I don't know
if the VERSION variable set in build/debian/rules would always be
valid in this context. Probably it would work for a complete build
only?
