Bug Description

Binary package hint: coq-doc

Hi,

I tried building the source package of coq-doc in Karmic (version 8.1) and build failed. I found out that the line printing the file common/version.tex in the Makefile isn't escaped correctly, so instead of:
> common/version.tex: Makefile
> echo "\newcommand{\coqversion}{$(VERSION)}" > common/version.tex

It should be:
> common/version.tex: Makefile
> echo "\\\newcommand{\\\coqversion}{$(VERSION)}" > common/version.tex
