Ok, nice.
They pollute my synaptic package manger, official debian never has them, neither do I.

Well, debian versioning is bound to rules (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#the-version-of-a-package).

For example, you build quilt so:
- 3.19.6 is NOT allowed
- 3.19.6-1 IS allowed.

The - is required in a quilt build, forbidden in a native build (it will not build)!!

Quilt builds can be redone, so 3.19.6-1 if they turn out to have some error and thus needs to be repackaged as 3.19.6-2 to be a higher version as 3.19.6-1 to be able to update to the newer package of same gambas version.

For stable a simple version like:
3.19.6-1 should do just fine

So for master I would propose something like:
3.19.90-<yyyymmddhhnnss>+<short commit number>
The <yyyymmddhhnnss> part will ensure each next build is a higher version and updates previous daily build.
