What kind of use case do you have ? I have thought about adding these
kind of meta-data, but haven't yet tackled the problem.
Do you know an existing ontology that could be used to link this version
information to the existing RDF content ?
I'd suggest a Turtle example (see
http://www-public.telecom-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/weblog/2012/08/29/debian-package-tracking-system-now-produces-rdf-description-of-source-packages/
for details on how to generate one using rapper) for the sake of readability.

Depending on the use case, you may be interested in the SOAP interface
of the PTS also : see http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html
for pointers.
