One more thing.

I'm assuming that you're packaging on Ubuntu for Debian so using
"--vendor debian" will not append "ubuntu" to the version.

I've never tried it but I don't think that you can use any name for
the vendor and, other than "debian", that name'll be appended to the
version.

A better way is to use "-U" (u for upstream).

Anyway, you can edit whatever dch sets as a version.
