The source tarball should not contain the Debian revision number. The
"-1" in the end is the Debian package version which will be increased
if there would be a need to change the packaging.

Yes, definitely. The name should be
plastimatch_1.5.15+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
I also think that if I will sponsor the package I will consider using
the enhanced uscan[1] to create the upstream source and allows better
compression option.
For simplicity you can simply care for commiting your packaging code as
usual to SVN and ping this list. We will care for an upload.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
