Ohh, now I get it: You don't argue that it is a style "we" as team 
commonly use across all our packages, but merely than one of us three 
working on this *one* package has *once*, 16 minutes earlier, done it.  
That's what you call "existing practice".  Sorry for being dense.

@Ben: How did you make that tarball which you re-imported?  Clearly you 
didn't use the CDBS routines as you'd not told CDBS to use + as 
delimiter.  I recommend that you use the very method of recreating 
tarball that you document in README.source.

Since the packaging has not yet been released officially into Debian, 
there is still time to change to a better style with no harm or other 
complications involved.  I recommend that you do so, Ben.

Importing a newly generated, differently named tarball containing same 
content should only be a tiny commit, thanks to how git-buildpackage is 
designed. :-)
