My understanding of the agreement from the last discussion on this topic was that when the package is derived from a debian package, the maemo suffix is needed if the source package uploaded to the autobuilder is different from the source package used for debian. This seems reasonable to me (although I would also find a different policy reasonable: one which said that the maemo suffix was only needed if an actual source change or a build change which affected behaviour had occurred, but that would be less clear). In my view this policy means everything which uses debian as the upstream will always require the maemo suffix as other policies require things like changing the maintainer name for debian packages, so the same source package cannot be used.
