Hrm, I just tried to build a package using
DH_OPTIONS=--dpkg-gencontrol-params=-v0.1-1.0.1 dpkg-buildpackage -B
In principle this could work, however current debhelper treats
--dpkg-gencontrol-params as equivalent to -u in
Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Getopt, so the -v option get passed to dpkg as well.
If that would be fixed (and I think this is a real bug since it passes the
args to dpkg, which differs from the behaviour in the man pages, hence the
bug report), one could build binary NMUs for packages that use debhelper
and don't override DH_OPTIONS in their debian/rules with this option.
