If you'd like to adopt the package instead of NMUing, that'd be great,
since the package will receive more attention. I've asked Jeroen van
Wolffelaar, currently in charge of the MIA process, and he says
there'd be no problem with you adopting qterm.

As you're repacking the tarball, the -1 bit wouldn't be included in
the tarball name itself. As for the .dfsg bit, that's normally used
when the tarball was modified to removed files that failed to meet the
DFSG.
If it's really necessary that you remove those files (which doesn't
really seem the case to me, so perhaps it's better to keep the
pristine upstream tarball), you could use 0.4.0pre2a, or
0.4.0pre2.ds.1 (ds is commonly used to, and it stands, I believe, for
"debian source").
