[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#660043: dh_dkms -V (without version argument) includes epoch in the upstream_version

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/dh_dkms

Hi,

I just tested 'dh_dkms -V' (without version argument) in fglrx-driver
(1:12-1-2) and the result was 
  /usr/src/fglrx-1:12-1/dkms.conf
with
  PACKAGE_VERSION="1:12-1"
and maintainer scripts with
  DKMS_VERSION=1:12-1

This is not the result I expected: the epoch should be included nowhere.

quoting dh_dkms(1):

  -V, -V version
      If "PACKAGE_VERSION" in dkms.conf is set to "#MODULE_VERSION#",
      set it to the given version or, if none is given, default to the
      upstream version of the current package.

quoting policy 5.6.12 Version:
    
    The format is: [epoch:]upstream_version[-debian_revision]

Using 'dh_dkms -V 12-1' works as expected.
