Glad to hear, that you are working on debian packes for xtla.

Some ideas about the version number:
* You could use the version number from Matthieu's repository
* You could use the version number from my repository
* You could use a date
  - wine does it that way: wine_0.0.20040615-1_i386.deb
* Others?

I'd prefer the date, because it has a meaning to everybody.
