Bug Description
Each profile file in /etc/firejail should contain a line saying what version(s) of the app it applies to. And maybe a warning should be logged if there is a version mismatch.

I think maintaining that is difficult. There are currently more than 1000 profiles.
Many of them exist already for quite some time, others are regularly contributed by many users.
It will get quickly out of date.
And even if upstream maintains this information, that does not mean that the version matches the software packaged in Debian or Ubuntu.
I'll close this bug, as it is out of scope of package maintenance.
If you want to move this forward, I would suggest to start a discussion upstream.
