I am trying to adjust rules file for 'grass/daily' branch and I have found
multiple lines moving some files which contain hardcoded GRASS version on

mv debian/tmp/usr/lib/grass70/gui/wxpython/iclass/iclass_frame.jpg
debian/tmp/usr/share/$(BASE_NAME)/gui/wxpython/iclass/
What is the reason not using VERSION variable ? If I will change it to the
another hardcoded value, I would have a problem to merge with development
branches.
I don't like automatically generated packaging during the build. I like changes to the packaging to be explicit and documented in the VCS history (not hidden from sight in the pbuilder chroot); the packaging in git should be the same as included in the resulting package.
Changing the path for a new upstream release (e.g. 7.1) should be done in a commit that changes all occurrences.
Since GRASS upstream maintains 3 branches (6.4, 7.0 & 7.1) using branches for each seems better than using a single packaging branch for all.
