Heh, now that I look for it I can't find actual documentation of the
simpler method, although I'm sure you could hunt it down in list
archives. You can edit debian/changelog and change the version number,
either by a tiny notch (0.0.1) to prevent apt from overwriting it with
the current version, or by an enormous leap (prepend "1:" or increase
any epoch that's already there).
