You're absolutely right in being unwilling to use "dgit" as part of the

more general specification. But then, the natural consequence of that
argument is that you need a generic name for the "thing" that the
specification standardize. Once you have that name, and everyone is
clear on the fact that it names the standard rather than the
implementation, there would be nothing wrong in using it as part of the
namespace.

I think that would be the best solution. It's concise and not confusing.

I'm leaning towards


This is on the grounds that the tag's semantics are that the source
code referenced by the that is what is in the specified distro
archive, under the specified version number.

"archive" is rather indescript and confusing too.

Why not use {quilt,native,gitsrc...}/{debian,ubuntu,devuan}/<version> thus tying it to the source format.
