you must work on same headers and source version.
when you compile the kernel you can take control of name, revision, ecc
setting related variables within the command line or
within the makefile. I use make-kpkg to compile and get the .deb 
packages to install to my voyage distribution. Here my command:

make-kpkg --append-to-version $KERNEL_VER --revision=$KERNEL_REV
 kernel-image --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel_headers kernel-source

If you state
KERNEL_VER="-voyage"
KERNEL_REV="11.0-1"
working on 3.2.17 source you'll provide this kernel pkg:
 
linux-image-3.2.17-voyage_11.0-1_i386.deb
linux-headers-3.2.17-voyage_11.0-1_i386.deb
linux-source-3.2.17-voyage_11.0-1_i386.deb
.......
with your method edit the makefile and set for KERNEL_VER the
EXTRAVERSION variable
"EXTRAVERSION = -voyage"
ok?
