It will + ensure proper version sorting. + . + We can think of two cases for which a tilde makes sense. First, upstream may release + a tarball again using the same version, but with the offending files removed. The + second case is when all DFSG concerns for a source tarball disappeared. In both cases, + repacking is no longer necessary.
