A simple way to implement that would be to make logo-text-version* into
symlinks to logo-text* during the development cycle, and undo that around
the time of the freeze. I've proposed a merge request at
<https://salsa.debian.org/debian-desktop-team/desktop-base/-/merge_requests/8>
which implements that.

Unfortunately, logo-text.svg is currently rendered as blank (transparent)
by librsvg (and therefore rsvg-convert), so the logo-text-${size}.png
shipped by desktop-base are also blank. I opened a separate librsvg bug
(#1086987). I was able to work around this by copying the content of
logo-text-version.svg and then deleting the version number, and that change
is also included in the MR linked above.
