I would like to have the Received: header and SMTP banner show the
exact Debian version number the host is running. If I hardcode the
version number, I am prone to forget changing the number there when I
release a new version. So it has to be automatic, but I can of course
generate a file containing the version number in my debian/rules and
put it in to /usr/share. Which is most probably what I will do.
Greetings
Marc
