You should use the --append-to-version for make-kpkg or set some
EXTRAVERSION in the kernel Makefile

I have:
# head -n 5 Makefile

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 0
EXTRAVERSION = -test4-2

this creates an /lib/modules/2.6.0-test4-2 allowing to run different
configurations of the same kernel version

# ls /lib/modules
2.4.21-2
2.4.21-3
2.4.21-4
...
2.6.0-test4-1
2.6.0-test4-2
...

you can achieve the same by running
make-kpkg --append-to-version '-2' --revision 1 kernel_image
