Sounds sensible.

I do not think that the tarball name in itself should be a rejection
reason.  I also use this suffix for repackaged tarballs.  Some people
are using +ds but I'd consider this nitpicking.

BTW, did you possibly contact the copyright holders for choosing a
free license?

Kind regards
