The bottom line is that if upstream doesn't version their tarballs, you

really your choice as to whether you want to do some sort of local
renaming or not. Personally I wouldn't, since it really doesn't do
much good.
I think that it is best left to the packager choice, but in my opinion
it helps knowing what source archive is packaged to rename locally and
have the timestamp in package name. The downside is that automatic source
detection, and automatic download doesn't work anymore.
