Maybe something like I created for lyx? Packages there have versions like
lyx-2.0.30801-Linux.deb

In this case, 2.0 is major+minor number and 30801 is the svn-revision.

Because 
1.) I create them to install at /usr/local, which is not the "standard" place.
2.) I use svn, which is not to be made public packages. I think.

That said, I am creating packages for OpenSuSE 10.3, 64Bit
and Ubuntu 9.04, 64Bit.
