I doubt there is some official guideline, so the short answer is you can version them as you want. However consider that some packages can depend on particular version of other packages. Thus changing version from 2.0-1 to 1.0my_package-1 could break something which depends on let's say version >> 1.5. I would use versioning scheme similar to that used on backports.org. 2.0-1 -> 2.0-1.my.1. But, new version (2.0-2) will overwrite your package. You can however put your package on hold, and if new version appears recompile it again. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
