Yeah, version.h needs match ./debain/changelog; this is a
sanity check.

ok. the upstream version is 2.6.17. Normally, the package name
produced would be linux-image-2.6.17. You asked for something to be
added to the version, and thus the package name: "2.6.17"
So, it adds to the original linux-image-2.6.17, the string 2.6.17, to
get: linux-image-2.6.172.6.17
You could try: --append-to-version -foo, which will create:
linux-image-2.6.17-foo.

You probably mean debian/changelog

Which is the package name from above.

Hope this clears it up a bit.
