in all the cases i've seen, the upstream version number is used, and
that is expected to work as long as you don't make binary incompatible
changes in your packaging.  hence, your approach is correct in 99.9% of
situations.

not sure how you're doing things right now, but you are probably better
off using dh_dkms.
