Remember that a lilypond deb package already exists.
I have zero experience with Debian packaging and a little experience 
with Fedora packaging, but I guess they work similarly. In theory, you 
should install some tools, download some configuration files, edit a 
few lines to change the lilypond version and run the build. But you may 
run in dependency problems.

The reason of the confusion in the version name is explained here:
