Subject: Change auto version before build to use Debian version

During Debian packaging, this call to `__version("py_ecc")` fails
because the package metadata is not available in the build environment.
Replace this instead with `@DEB_VERSION@` which will at build time be
replaced with the Debian version by debian/rules.
