This does not work for out-of-tree builds
because init/build-version is a check-in source file.



For example, "make O=/tmp/foo bindeb-pkg" fails with:
.../linux/scripts/package/mkdebian: 93: init/build-version: not found


The correct code is:


          revision=$($srctree/init/build-version)

Ditto.

          Release: $($srctree/init/build-version)
