I am unfamiliar with opencpn to be able to suggest an alternative. But given opencpn has never been part of Debian, you could just name your package "opencpn-deb". Just to be sure users don't get surprised by having two different versions of the same package, it can "Conflict: opencpn". Then, you get a blank slate from which you can work your versioning as you deem adequate. It does, yes, introduce some confusion, but I think is the least evil option.
