As it seems not unreasonable to expect the upstream version to go past
2.0.0 in the not infinite future, this is the approach I would take.
Because you ask here, it suggests to me that doing this has some pain
for the packaging that you didn't elaborate on. Why do you even raise
the question here on debian-devel and don't just do this established way
of fixing these kind of temporarily versioning issues in Debian?

Because this you have to carry forever.
