Sorry for the delay: I've somewhat missed this bug report :/

It isn't that simple IMHO. The reason for the version hard-coding in the
syrthes path is to be able to install different syrthes versions on the
same box. See also debian/README.source.

That's not as elegant as I thought initially. Hence I'm thinking about
trying other solutions. The easier would be to drop the version
hard-coding for the official debian package.

One thing we'd need to solve then is how to tell code-saturne to use
another syrthes version than the default one.

Any thought?

Thanks,

_g.
