Debian builder can't execute 'svnversion' because it has no access to '.svn'
files and no 'svn' software is installed in build chroot. So this can be a
root of the problem.
Was there any significant change of version assignment between 6 and 7 ?

Anyway, it seems to be a packaging problem rather a problem in GRASS as I
originally expected.
