Bug in recent changes to builddeb

Bug in recent changes to builddeb

[Ron Economos]

Looks like there's a bug in /scripts/package/builddeb. On lines 188, 197 
and 198, the variable $version is used. However, it's not defined 
(removed with recent changes).

This causes the headers to be put into /usr/src/linux-headers-. When the 
next version is attempted to be installed, the following error occurs.

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-6.3.0-rc4_6.3.0-rc4-2_riscv64.deb

or just see https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/3351f907cfd0b5d8372e858a8ec9065cc2bd91df.1679434718.git.kevin@kevinlocke.name/

and use a later git tree.

I.e., it's fixed now.

Hi Masahiro,

when do you plan the next git-pull request to Linus?

For people using Debian and builddeb this is really annoying.

Thanks.
