You very seldomly need to repack the same upstream release more than
once. When you do, you update repacksuffix in d/watch to use +dsfg1,
create the orig.tar.gz, undo the changes to d/watch, and import the new
upstream tarball.

The developers-reference documents the use of plain +dfsg, and this is
what pretty much all other packages in the team do (either +dfsg or
+ds), and because consistency is a good thing you should do the same.

"
 may use packagename-upstream-version+dfsg [...]
