You're welcome to do this however you you think best, of course!  My
instinct was to try to somewhat match the flavor of upstream's
conception of the revision number: they have an indefinitely-changing
revision number.  I figured that the length of the debian/changelog
would actually be even better, since it is indefinitely-changing, but
always in a positive direction.  That way, if you re-build with a new
changelog, the resultant file will have a different revision number.

otoh, a simple hard-coded value is probably fine too :)
