Hmm, I had already pondered about this when I saw the announcement. So,
while I agree such option would make life easier for people that want
to do “almost-source-only uploads” right now (because TBH the other
alternatives are very annoying), on first thought this seemed to be a
very non-generic and DAK specific option, and less useful if this is
going to be a short temporary situation.

But then there's (AFAICS) only two missing combinations in the tools,
source+arch-dep and source+arch-indep, so I guess if I add both, then
it keeps being quite generic. :)

I'll try to include this for 1.17.11, which I'm planning to release
RSN.

Thanks,
Guillem
