If I fork a package and make my own changes to it, I don't want to mess with the version number of the original package, but I should still somehow indicate that this is different.

As an example, let's say a package is at 0.2.0. I fork the package and make a minor change (something that would normally result in the version number changing to 0.2.1). Would it be appropriate to make my version number something like, 0.2.0-0.0.1, or is there a better approach?
