I'm really pretty much -1 on having two different ways to do very nearly
the same thing, with the differences determined only by somebody's
arbitrary choices of where they think the modified version should be
exposed. IMO, either you think the Debian package version is important
enough to show, or you don't. (I'd incline to the "don't" side anyway.)
