Note that you can just pass versions to PBR via the calling
environment, per
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/pbr/packagers.html#versioning

If yours is the NeCTAR packaging library I found (or is a fork
thereof), it looks like you're doing a lot of duplicative work for
things PBR can already handle like calculating patchsets since the
last tag and translating to suitable Debian package version numbers.
