When do we want lm-version to return Version and not Package-Version,
where a (lm-header "version") wouldn't serve as a more specific
replacement?

FWIW the function is used in a single place (in the core, lm-report-bug)
and both on ELPA and NonGNU ELPA, all instances appear to might as well
be using `package-get-version' (if it were not for the version of Emacs
they are depending on).
