I have always considered the true way to know if you have the source of a package is: imagine you're stuck somewhere with a Debian mirror and no external link. Could you take over the development of the package at hand?
Written like that it looks dramatic, but in that project there are only 5 occurences of %%VERSION_NUM%%. That's only 4 too many, and then it would not be much different than many other project releases where a script (not always provided), a bot (same) or plain old manual intervention (not always fully documented) is used to adjust a hardcoded version number in some file somewhere at release time. But it's true that if you're stranded somewhere you may have some free time at hand to implement your own layer of templating ^ ^.
