Yes. I maintain vera and dict-vera, both made from the vera
source package, but with different version numbers (the dict-vera
package has an epoch prefixed to the version number).
In the section of the rules file for dict-vera, I have the line:
dpkg-gencontrol -isp -p$(pkg2) -v1:$(pkg-ver) -Pdebian/tmp_$(pkg2)
the variable pkg2 is defined as dict-vera, and the variable pkg-ver is
defined as 1.9-2.
This is a hand rolled rules file. I am not familiar with
debhelper, but I imagine that it is possible to achieve this result
with debhelper.
Regards,
Bob
