I'm not sure whether this is important, but the version number in the .deb should probably include the build number, for example 3.0.0.453 or 3.0.0-453, instead of just 3.0.0.

Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I also think putting the version number in the deb filename is important.

Better still, could you lay out your download website so that it works as a min debian repository (that only servers BC3). That way I can put the URL in my /etc/apt/sources.list file and my system will check for updates and download them automaticaly.

You would only need to host the .deb file and Packages.gz file with a single entry refering to it. There are almost certainly tools out there that will create the layout for you and update it when you do new releases.
