pip3 -> debian package being created with version 0.0.0 instead of the pip3 package version

[philschwartzsonos]

Running the following command that re-packages platformdirs 2.2.0 from the pip3 source and targeting debian results in the pip3 package being versioned as 0.0.0:

$ fpm --version
1.13.1

fpm -s python --python-bin python3 --python-pip pip3 --python-package-name-prefix python3 --python-install-lib=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages --python-install-bin=/usr/bin -t deb --deb-no-default-config-files -v 2.2.0 platformdirs
Created package {:path=>"python3-platformdirs_2.2.0_all.deb"}

$ dpkg --contents python3-platformdirs_2.2.0_all.deb | grep egg
drwxrwxr-x 0/0 0 2021-08-26 21:33 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/platformdirs-0.0.0.egg-info/

-rw-rw-r-- 0/0 1 2021-08-26 21:33 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/platformdirs-0.0.0.egg-info/dependency_links.txt

Additionally the PKG-INFO file contains "Version: 0.0.0"

installing the fpm-created debian pkg, "pip3" list shows:

platformdirs (0.0.0)

However, when downloading the pip3 package directly

$ pip3 download platformdirs

$ unzip -l platformdirs-2.2.0-py3-none-any.whl | grep egg

In extracting the whl, the METADATA file contains "Version: 2.2.0"

So I'm not sure where fpm is inferring the "0.0.0" version from since it breaks anything dependent on platformdirs > 0.0.0 (such as pylint).
