Priority: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

Many packages contain invocations such as:

DEB_VERSION=$(shell dpkg-changelog | grep '^Version' | cut ...)

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+shell+dpkg-parsechangelog

Since dpkg 1.17 (available in "oldstable" as of today), this can better
be written as:

DEB_VERSION=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion)

Or:
include /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk; $(DEB_VERSION)


Please inform people that they should prefer the new syntax.

Cheers,
Chris.
