new -v option must not have a space

IIRC, this is exactly how dpkg-buildpackage behaves, and git ubuntu is just passing it through. I'm not sure it makes sense for git ubuntu to parse a different form, translate it and pass that through.

Do I misunderstand what you're requesting?

I think so :)

$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -v 1.2.3
dpkg-buildpackage: error: unknown option or argument 1.2.3

Use --help for program usage information.

dpkg-buildpackage(1):

       -vversion

This should fix it (untested):

diff --git a/gitubuntu/build.py b/gitubuntu/build.py
index 9a09d6a..a8972f4 100644
--- a/gitubuntu/build.py
+++ b/gitubuntu/build.py

+ rem_args.append('-v%s' % oldubuntu_version)

Yep, that does look right, can you submit it as a MP?
