Hmmm, well now I've looked at the dch man page I'm none the wiser. I can see how to change the version *number* to pretty much anything I like, but not how to get "postfix_2.3.8-1myname_i386.deb" instead. I'm going to go off and see what I can learn about .deb packages in general, but if anyone can fill that particular blank in for me in the meantime I'd be grateful, as it means I can get my shiny new package installed and tested.
Note that dch's version "number" seems to be 2.3.8-1myname in the above example, so I think you could set it with dch -v '2.3.8-1myname'. Or you can just edit the changelog entry directly. Confusing yet flexible.
Hope that helps,
