Bug#1023939: findimagedupes: debian build process fails to set version

[Jonathan H N Chin]

Package: findimagedupes
Version: 2.20.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hi I am the author of findimagedupes.

I believe you are building directly from the files on github.
I don't provide the tar release file there. Perhaps I should.

Building the debian package directly from the findimagesupes file
does not set the `$Id` string inside the code. Because of this,
the `--version` option is failing.

I set the string when building a tar release file by running
"make dist" to extract the version from git and then patch the code:

```
    dist: README.md
    	git describe --tags > VERSION
    	./patchver 
    	[...]
```

`patchver` updates the variable in the code:

```
    perl -i -pe 's/^(my \$Id = ).*/$1"'$(cat VERSION)'";/' findimagedupes
```
