No. .localversion gets added to the _kernel_ version in the package name.
This is to overrule the standard _package_ version.

I use it for example to automatically create a series of versioned 
packages during bisection based on .git/BISECT_LOG:
linux-2.6.29_1_amd64.deb
linux-2.6.29_2_amd64.deb
linux-2.6.29_3_amd64.deb
linux-2.6.29_4_amd64.deb
...

For "normal" packages I use package versions based on 'git describe'.
