No, was just a wild guess in case gpg was getting confused by seeing a
missing private key for an ultimately trusted key or something like
that.

I think this is just git being missing in that chroot. And I see the
error message from get-version is not very clear, will improve that.

If you don't want to install git there, you could workaround it with
something like:

  «echo -n 1.20.3 >.dist-version»
