It is possible to rename it in SVN dist/dev, but as I said earlier, that can also cause confusion, as in: is "project-version-incubating.tar.gz" on the website the same as the "project-version" I see in Maven Central and which is in the SCM tag? Adding the suffix in some places, but not others, especially by manual steps after altering the convenient automated tooling output, is probably not a good idea.
