The new version is always implicitly known at package build time, so
if you really need to have a varying version you can replace it then.
But usually you compare against a known version that introduced
something and then you have logic like:
case "$1" in
upgrade)
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt KNOWN-VERSION; then
: # do some actions, or deny or accept the downgrade
fi
