Include branch name in Debian package version

Sanitize branch name by Debian version policy:

This scratches my itch. Before this change all Debian packages were built with version 0.1.0. That prevented simple upgrades from package manager, as it refused to replace existing installation with the same version.

With this change packages built from main branch will have version like 0.1.0+r571-0
