Ah, that's easy. Just look at how I did it with NIS and how Peter Tobias
does it with the network packages:

ncpfs-2.1.2/debian/
            ncpfs-2.0.x/
            ncpfs-2.1.x/

Just include the 2 packages into one source package. You need to be
careful with the .orig directory though (keep everything in sync).

Just use one stub script, link all the others to it:

#! /bin/sh

kver=`uname -r`
bin=`basename $0`
exec /usr/lib/ncpfs/${kver%.*}/$bin "$@"

That will execute /usr/lib/ncpfs/xxx/binary where xxx is 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2
(.. or 3.0, etc). Note the Posix ${kver%.*} expression to strip the minor
revision number.

That's supposing the names and basic functionality of the 2.0 and 2.1
series are the same, ofcourse.

HTH
