My use case is probably a bit odd, even for fasttrack, because I have used a profile and some conditionals in debian/rules to ensure that builds for normal debian suites (unstable,backports,stable) exclude the openqa package (the one that contains the fast-moving WebUI) so that the openqa-client and openqa-worker packages will end up in stable, but the webUI will not. That means that I upload basically the same version to unstable, stable-backports and stable-fasttrack (apart from trivial changelog changes). I'd guess that most fasttrack uploaders are treating fasttrack as their only target for that package's uploads, so they would presumably get the orig source included automatically, based on the way the versions change in their changelog. Perhaps I should ensure that there's no mention of the unstable upload in the changelog that's used in the fasttrack branch in order to get that behaviour, but I was thinking that interleaving the different changelog entries should make what's going on much clearer to people that wonder about it.
