        Yeah, version.h needs match ./debain/changelog; this is a
 sanity check.

        ok. the upstream version is 2.6.17. Normally, the package name
 produced would be linux-image-2.6.17. You asked for something to be
 added to the version, and thus the package name: "2.6.17"
 So, it adds to the original linux-image-2.6.17, the string 2.6.17, to
 get: linux-image-2.6.172.6.17

        You could try:  --append-to-version -foo, which will create:
 linux-image-2.6.17-foo.

        You probably mean debian/changelog

        Which is the package name from above.

        Hope this clears it up a bit.
