Errr... Maybe I'm missing something here, but why is that? How exactly can having "+dfsg" be harmful? My understanding is that both "+dfsg" and "~dfsg" are acceptable and it is only ".dfsg" that may indeed be harmful if upstream decides to release a next version with a new component that sorts lower than, well, "dfsg" :) However, I really don't see what upstream's next version number has to be so that it will cause problems with "+dfsg"; could you please provide an example?
