Thanks Nick. This helped mitigate the problem.
However more detailed question would be proper probably for the dev list, I
wanted to know if there is a way to manipulate the debian - dpkg or apt or
whatever repository after installation.
I would appreciate a source link to read about. Looking for such in blind
cost me too much time.

For now I build a dummy package and it worked fine. I also was able to
upgrade to 14.0.2 and all seems good. So quite of a progress.
