Bug#560287: debian-policy: document dfsg, ds and debian suffix of version numbers when repackaging

[Thomas Koch <thomas@koch.ro>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: wishlist

The proper use of dfsg, ds or debian as version number suffix in case of
repackagaged upstream tarballs is not documented anywhere. It's also not
clear, wether the suffix should be appended with a point, a dash or a
tilde.
