I'd use 3.3.3.2.dfsg1-1

Deciphered, this is
- upstream 3.3.3.2
- cleaned to comply with dfsg, first take
-- above identify the orig.tar.gz
- first debian revision using _that_ orig.tar.gz

Is the DFSG the reason for that repackaging[1]? If not, you should use
"ds" (as in Debian Source) instead of "dfsg". You may want to consult
the DevRef 6.7.8.2 to make sure that a re-packaging is really needed.

BTW, there is newer upstream version :)


[1] The .dll and .exe files are unneeded, yes, but unless they clash
with DFSG you can leave them (explaining their origin/authors/license
in debian/copyright)
