Common practice for downstreams (whether complete derivatives or end users) is to version modified packages with a version number like
4.16.5-1+something1
Where "something" is the name of a project, the name of the person performing the modification etc.
Unfortunately with 4.16.5-1 of the kernel package such a version number is no longer accepted with the error message "Invalid debian linux version". It seems the cause of this was the following change.

Reverting this change allowed me to get a succesful control files generation.
