I've noticed you are managing the version number as if it was a float.
This is problematic on deb and rpm based distros, as they consider
versions (broadly) as a group of integers concatenated, and thus trailing
0 are significant. In this case 61 > 6, but then 7 < 61, so if you'd want
to release 0.7, the version would have to be epoched as in 1:0.7 (that
each time you skip back in the numbering). So I think you either want to
use versions like:

  0.6, 0.6.1, 0.6.2, 0.7, ...

or:

  0.6, 0.61. 0.70, 0.71, ...

Also could you consider renaming the project name (and thus the source
tarballs)? It would be a bit less confusing (upstream and in Debian,
having the source package != binary package), and it would be easier
for people to look up on search engines, as see is a pretty common word.
