Added debian/patches/long-version.

This is a simple workaround for a bug in perl 5.10. Perl cannot currently
handle long version numbers when bootstrapping a module. Upstream used
1.299908051800 as a version number for this release candidate which caused
RRDs to be unusable with perl 5.10.

The date, used in the upstream version number, has been replaced with a
simple counter.
