If there is no version info, why not simply display nothing?

#ifdef PACKAGE_PACKAGER
# ifdef PACKAGE_PACKAGER_VERSION
  fprintf (stream, _("Packaged by %s (%s)\n"), PACKAGE_PACKAGER,
          PACKAGE_PACKAGER_VERSION);
# else
  fprintf (stream, _("Packaged by %s\n"), PACKAGE_PACKAGER);
# endif
#endif
