Debian package versions are composed of several parts: upstream version, a dash, and then the packaging version. (Pedantic nitpick: Debian-native packages have only a single version field). Any change in the packaging should result in an increased package version. I usually apppend -mg1, -mg2 etc. to the end, to clearly indicate what my version of the package was based upon. Now if you don't actually change anything in debian/*, but just rebuild, that's the only time when you can keep the old version.
