I'd go with 2.0.6+1d28dc-1. Or possibly 2.0.6+git1d28dc-1
It's a snapshot from the git repo, so the "upstream" part of the version
number should be modified, not the "Debian" package version (which is
usually started at 1, not 0)
And adding to the last version instead of substracting from the next future
version number means the script can easily get the version (last tag in git?
Something like that) and doesn't depend on whatever decision might be made
(like that you'd like to go to 2.1 or something like that.)
In any case, it seems to be using the git version id instead of the date is
important to identify. I've seen at least one project that even uses an
indication if the git working dir was modified or if it was a clean
checkout. Don't remember where, and I don't think it's really necessary.
