DevRef §6.7.8.2 indicates that using such a suffix for *all* repacked
origtgz is better.

Almost all our packages are repacked, that's pointless and brings
no useful information.

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.en.html#repackaged-upstream-source

"may use packagename-upstream-version+dfsg (or any other suffix which is
added to the tarball name) as the name of the top-level directory in its
tarball. This makes it possible to distinguish pristine tarballs from
repackaged ones."

The 'may' requirement for the suffix is very weak. The Lintian
repackaged-source-not-advertised warning should be downgraded
to pedantic.

Our time is limited, let's focus on important things.
