Yes, IIRC because the upstream tarball contains prebuilt man pages
with IIRC "wrong" paths for Debian.

This documentation is admittedly incomplete, because it silently
assumes that the only reason for repackaging are license issues of
single files, not purely technical issues.

So if we introduce that type of renaming, wie should use "+ds" for
"debian source".

I'd still prefer if we would move to the original upstream tar ball.

Frank: Do you remember the exact reasoning?
