multiversioned source



Hi all,

My upstream has bundled several things into one big tarball, mixing
libraries and binaries all together.  I would really like to have
separate package versions since the tarball is versioned 1.0, but the
bundled library has reverse depends on it for >>1.0, not to mention its
soname.

Is there a way to have different debian version numbers for a
multipackage source?  I've tried adding Version: fields in the control
file ala:

Package: foo
Version: 1.0.0
Architecture: any
[..]

but the build complains with:
dpkg-source: warning: unknown information field Version in input data in
package's section of control info file.

Policy doesn't really state anything about source vs. binary versions. 
Is this possible?

thanks,
-m
