I think I may have tracked it down.

The version the deb is built from:
https://code.ros.org/svn/release/download/stacks/abb/abb-0.1.0/

does not match the tagged repo version:
<http://code.google.com/p/swri-ros-pkg/source/browse/#svn%2Ftags%2Fabb%2Fabb-0.1.0%253Fstate%253Dclosed>
http://code.google.com/p/swri-ros-pkg/source/browse/#svn%2Ftags%2Fabb%2Fabb-0.1.0

This file is the problem:
http://code.google.com/p/swri-ros-pkg/source/browse/tags/abb/fuerte/abb_common/CMakeLists.txt

I've tried to fix the release by using:

rosrelease-legacy abb 0.1.0 fuerte


It's probably something I am doing, but how to I overwrite the deb version
in ros release?  Maybe I can't.  Maybe I need to release a new version
number?
