Building debian package without version in the name

Hi,


as far as I can tell, both debian packages released on libreoffice.org
and those one can build from the core repo by passing
/--with-package-format=deb/ contains in their name also the version:

$ apt-cache show libreoffice7.2
Package: libreoffice7.2
Status: install ok installed
Installed-Size: 3680
Maintainer: The Document Foundation
Architecture: amd64
Version: 7.2.5.2-2
Depends: libreoffice7.2-ure (>= 7.2.5.2), libreoffice7.2-ure (<= 7.2.5.2-2), libobasis7.2-core (>= 7.2.5.2), libobasis7.2-core (<= 7.2.5.2-2), libobasis7.2-images (>= 7.2.5.2), libobasis7.2-images (<= 7.2.5.2-2)
Description: Brand module for LibreOffice 7.2.5.2
 Copyright: 2021 The Document Foundation
 Brand module for LibreOffice 7.2
Description-md5: 40c112f2d805d5e543e71b105e2fe2fc

In opposite to that, the distro-provided package (Debian in my case)
does not contain the version:

Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u4
Installed-Size: 93
Maintainer: Debian LibreOffice Maintainers <debian-openoffice at lists.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64

Since I'd like to provide via private repos a recent version of LO, is
there a way to build the DEB packages without the version in the name?


Thanks in advance,

ATB

Marco
