Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.5
Tags: patch
When using the "-v" flag of dpkg-gencontrol to set the version number
of the binary package being built, the subst variable "binary:Version"
fails to be set correctly. Instead of getting the value specified with
the -v, it gets the version of the source.
It is useful to have an accurate binary:Version when you want to have
the -dev package depend on the library (= ${binary:Version}).
The following patch fixes this little problem.
