I think the real issue is that, for out-of-tree builds, there might be
no git tree available, and thus those packages would FTBFS. This means
we would eventually cactch such packages.

Furthermore, it would be pretty surprising for unsuspecting users to end
up with Buildroot's version instead of that package's version.

As such, your proposal to replace the version script is good idea.

Yann E. MORIN.
