Bug#721939: mk-build-deps: match the version of the corresponding package

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.13.3
Severity: normal

Hi, it would be nice if mk-build-deps generated .debs whose Version is the same
as the .dsc it is building from. Then you could correctly store the *.debs of 
older versions instead of hacking the filename to be something other than the
Version contained inside it.

One motivation is so you could informally distribute the resulting .deb and
have version upgrades work correctly. Obviously I do not expect devscripts to
officially support this usage, but it would be nice if it worked.
