 Given that the source has been repacked, you need a +dfsg or +ds
 version suffix.

 I did not know this was a valid reason for rejecting a package.
 Developers reference says 'should' and not 'must'.

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz

I can't see it in https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html or in
 policy as well.

May be I'm missing something here? I have at least seen some packages in archive which did not advertise repackaged source in version (don't
 remember the names now). Does it mean they are RC bugs?

This was done as a courtesy for you, as accepting the upload may have
made it harder to fix. For example, if you prefer to use ~dfsg then the
accepted upload would block that.

Thanks for the explanation. I hope Nilesh would fix it.
