CI / test (push) Failing after 12m28s
Debian versions must start with a digit. When called via 'make deb', VERSION is passed from Makefile (git describe output includes 'v' prefix). The strip was previously only done inside the auto-detection branch, so 'make deb' produced invalid versions like 'v2026.07.30-2-g05604a8-1'. Now VERSION= runs after the version is determined, regardless of whether it came from an argument or auto-detection.
