The package does not depend on a specific version of lilypond. You can
see all dependencies with
 dpkg --info packagename
Which package did you install? 2.0.4? Did you install the amd64 or the
i386 version? Which distro version do you have? My package was build on
Debian Jessie. Did you check that the libraries are installed in the
correct versions? Sometimes the package manager makes stupid suggestions
when libraries are not installed, but you can solve these by selecting
the missing libraries by hand. After installing the Denemo package, all
conflicts should be mentioned specifically by the package manager.

At the moment I'm on travel, and I can't build a package for the brand
new version 2.0.6 until I'm back.
