Personally I think it's a bad policy to look at your directory name to
determine your version number; too error prone and unforgiving of
strange but useful conditions.  I use the following to take version
numbers from the changelog:

SRC_VERSION	:= $(shell head -1 debian/changelog | cut '-d ' -f 2 | sed 's/[()]//g')

[note the use of := instead of = as well; 'info make' for more info]

If you need an upstream version you could either munge a version.h
file or whatever, or munge the debian version number.
