You very seldomly need to repack the same upstream release more than once. When you do, you update repacksuffix in d/watch to use +dsfg1, create the orig.tar.gz, undo the changes to d/watch, and import the new upstream tarball. The developers-reference documents the use of plain +dfsg, and this is what pretty much all other packages in the team do (either +dfsg or +ds), and because consistency is a good thing you should do the same.
