Use the -v option to dpkg-gencontrol(1). If using dh_gencontrol, use -u to
pass this flag to dpkg-gencontrol and the -p and -X options to specify which
packages to act on.
You will want to generate the version number automatically, anyway, as
otherwise you would need to update it in two places whenever you upload a
new version.
