That looks like a different issue: get_setup_version() in setup.py
seems to be trying to get the version from git, which of course fails
when building the Debian package without the .git directory present.

Presumably there is a way to get the version from e.g.
"dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version" (minus the -1 revision) instead.  I'm
not sure how other packages handle this.
