bzr-builddeb can do this for you, by taking the current version in
debian/changelog and updating the revno in that. What I usually use for
get-orig-source is something like this:

get-orig-source:
	bzr builddeb --export-only --build-dir=tmp
	mv tmp/*.orig.tar.gz .
	rm -rf tmp

This will retrieve the upstream branch name (lp:bzr-loom in this case)
from .bzr-builddeb/default.conf

Cheers,

Jelmer
