Well, I can't change the order due to cover the case like
<upstream version>+<whatever>-<deb release>. but perhaps

version=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | grep '^Version: ' | sed -e 's/^Version: //' -e 's/-[A-Za-z0-9\.\+]*$$//g' -e 's/+[A-Za-z0-9\.]*$$//g')

should be good enough for you, I think.
does it make sense?
