The received wisdom seems to be that you add ``bo<new-version>'' onto the end 
of the existing bo version number

So assuming that the next hamm version going to be

  isdnutils_2.1.beta1-17.deb

the matching bo version should be called

  isdnutils_2.1.beta1-15bo17.deb

and the pair after that should be

  isdnutils_2.1.beta1-18.deb
  isdnutils_2.1.beta1-15bo18.deb

This way the bo versions are all guarentteed to be lower than the lowest hamm version.

Cheers, Phil.
