~ is meaningful to debian versions. Changing it because of the format the
source package is stored in seems wrong at best. ~ seems to be a fine
relation to use, + implies something else.

"debian source". It's used when you repack for non-DFSG reasons. DFSG
(+dfsg or ~dfsg) repacks are when something violates the DFSG and you need
to repack it.
