You are getting confused by the Makefile version (which shows what upstream
stable version is the base for the kernel) and the package version.
The package version for the source package is found in the changelog file which
(also slightly different to normal Debian packaging) is located in debian.master.
The version in the changelog will be 3.13.0-x.y wjere x is the abi number (for
example 33) and y is the upload number which you see as #y in uname -a.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel should have more info.
