The current 5.8.6 .deb is not compatible with current versions of 
debian.

If I build a .deb from the sources in cm3-src-all-5.8.6-REL.tgz,
will its version number be 5.8.6, or some modification of 5.8.6?  I'd 
very much want it to be *different* so that my build will be recognised 
as a more recent build (for a more recent version of Debian). 

If not, is there a way of specifying it explicitly?  The  new .deb I 
make will likely not be compatible with really old versions of Debian.
