Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? running `jq --version` yielded an answer
that does not correspond to `dpkg -l jq`
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I installed `jq:1.7.1-6` and ran `jq --version`
I had to download the source tarball and confirm that it was actually
`1.7.1`.
Then I had to download the debian changes bit to find the patch that hard
coded the version to `1.7`.
I also downloaded the upstream version of jq 1.7.1 and confirmed that
when using `--verison` with it, it reports `1.7.1`.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I've determined that the packaged binary is approximately `1.7.1` but
lies and claims it is 1.7.
I've determined that upstream provides a binary for `1.7.1` and reports
it is `1.7.1`.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Versions that correspond to `1.7.1` should claim to be `1.7.1` (and
similarly for versions 1.x.1).
