That's because 2.2.17pre6 is greater than 2.2.17, so whatever you put
after the - doesn't matter.

Try something like the invocation of make-kpkg i've been using recently:
 make-kpkg --rev 3:2.2.17-anomie.5 kernel-image

The "3:" sets an epoch of 3, making my package version greater than
anything likely to be seen on the Debian kernel-image-2.2.17.
