Client 6.3.24 points to 7.1 for Debian

[kpy3]

Tried to install foundationdb-clients_6.3.24-1_amd64.deb from GitHub, and got what I don't expect:

Is that correct?

:arrow_up: Nope, that is not correct.

This appears to be the result of the "fix" for #6490

I download fdb-client of version 6.3.24. I install this file but use command fdbcli --version get below output. so I think this release file is mistake.

fdbcli --version
FoundationDB CLI 7.1 (v7.1.0)

can confirm that the clients deb is broken, the cli binary on the releases page is correct though. as an, admittedly suboptimal, workaround I'd pull the file from there.

Oddly enough the RPM looks ok, so it is not clear what wires I crossed while the deb packages were being built.
