This is an error in the version string in debian/changelog but
git-buildpackage produces a confusing error string when if I use
git-archive and then debuild, I get a much more useful error message:

 dpkg-source -b 2016.4.post1
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)':
 non-native package version does not contain a revision

To fix this bug, git-buildpackage should reproduce this error message
instead of failing with a NoneType.

Fixing debian/changelog allows git-buildpackage to proceed, so it's not
the upstream version string but the missing debian revision which
triggers the calculation of the version as None.
