Since 2df8220cc511 ("kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once"),
generating Debian packages using 'make bindeb-pkg' results in
packages that are stuck to the same .version, leading to unexpected
behaviours (multiple packages with the same version).
That's because the mkdebian script samples the build version
before building the kernel, and forces the use of that version
number for the actual build.
Restore the previous behaviour by calling init/build-version
instead of reading the .version file. This is likely to result
in too many .version bumps, but this is what was happening before
(although the bump was affecting builds made after the current one).
Fixes: 2df8220cc511 ("kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
