I associate dfsg in the package's name as something to know that the original 
tarball has been somehow modified to comply with the DFSG. In this case, the 
source was modified to not ship libs that are already available in Debian, so 
I *think* the name must not be modified (ie., 1.0~beta5 would be just fine).

AFAIU, git-buildpackage needs a tag in the upstream branch to be consistent 
with the package's name in debian/control. In this case, we could either re 
tag 1.0~beta5 or just misuse dfsg for this time :-)

Of course, none of the above is crucial for me (I think in english the correct 
phrase would be "no big feelings"), so wichever swits you better is fine for 
me :-)

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
