[Pkg-zsh-devel] .orig tarball name

The package's upstream tarball, zsh_5.7.1.orig.tar.xz, is different to
upstream's release tarball, zsh-5.7.1.tar.xz:

% zstat -or +size zsh-5.7.1.tar.xz 
3126308
% zstat -or +size zsh_5.7.1.orig.tar.xz 
2776796
% 

Could the .orig tarball be named with a +dfsg suffix, as per [1], in order
to self-document that it's different from upstream's artifact?

Cheers,

Daniel
