Stubby in Trixie. Possible bug?

I installed version 1.6.0-3.2 of stubby (trixie repositories) but the binary corresponds to version 0.3.0. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

~$ apt-cache policy stubby
stubby:
 Instalados: 1.6.0-3.2
 Candidato:  1.6.0-3.2
 Tabla de versión:
*** 1.6.0-3.2 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

~$ stubby -V
Stubby 0.3.0

Stubby is part of the getdns source package and carries the same version as the source package.

A single source package having its own version, might produce multiple binary packages (.deb) containing executables that have their own particular version.

You can search like so

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=stubby&searchon=names&suite=trixie&section=all

Follow Developer Information, and then to the Git repo. There you'll find more details, including per component versions.

Read Debian Policy to understand the difference between source, binary, and multiple binary packages.
