Because I've been burned by this before, hilariously! Since sometimes this is a mistake -- and if often is -- when they fix it, they re-post the same version with a new tarball (eww!), but this means I can re-upload a 1.0. If you have a +dfsg, you would need to do a 1.0+dfsg1.notreally-1, rather than a 1.0, which is unfortunate It's cosmetic, sure, but it has come in handy a few times :) FWIW, I don't reject packages out of the blue, this was a friendly reject, not a "kthxbye" reject. Routine rejects like this are for the maintainer's benefit, to quickly change a thing, rather than there was a problem. Please don't think I rejected it because tianon or I thought there was an issue with it that prevented it from being in main, it was a "well, it's not in Debian, so let's just fix it right quick" type thing.
