Hi!

While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have
noticed that flashcache doesn't build reproducibly.
It embeds the current date into files and directory names.

Because a part of the version string is duplicated in debian/rules,
it was also forgotten to bump it to match the current changelog version.

The attached patch fixes both problems by using the changelog version
as the version that will be used.

Regards,
 Reiner
