doing a quick stats on my system, i have 32 $(VER)+dfsg 28 $(VER)~dfsg 28 $(VER).dfsg 5 $(VER)dfsg 4 $(VER)-dfsg
FWIF, do not ever use ".dfsg". See the dfsg-version-with-period lintian warning for rationale. I'd also avoid "-dfsg", because version numbers with multiple dashes are confusing to users.
