It will not pass this Lintian test:

    Tag: dfsg-version-with-period
    Severity: minor
    Certainty: possible
    Info: The version number of this package contains ".dfsg", probably in a
     form like "1.2.dfsg1".  There is a suble sorting problem with this
     version method: 1.2.dfsg1 is considered a later version than 1.2.1.  If
     upstream adds another level to its versioning, finding a good version
     number for the next upstream release will be awkward.

Please, fix.  A better option would be 3.0.0+dfsg-1:

$ dpkg --compare-versions 3.0.0.dfsg lt 3.0.0.1 && echo true || echo false
false
$ dpkg --compare-versions 3.0.0+dfsg lt 3.0.0.1 && echo true || echo false 
true
