No I will not use as is. Actually node-tap use upstream tar ball
renamed as per dpkg spec [1].

You solution use a repack...


uscan support multiple tar (in V4) but only with one version. Your
redirector could help by fixing the version problem.

A minor point about version, it should be + instead of ~. Embded
version are after normal version. I think the best will be to use +~
to separate embed version. It is unlikey someone will use +~ and it is
a perfectly legal string.

so I will recommend as version
mainversion+dsembded+~version1+~version2+~version3
