For example, I maintain or team half-maintain maybe 90 packages in total, and none of them use pristine-tar. So the only case where I cannot use tag2upload is when I need to upload to NEW, which is not often. Therefore tag2upload is my default way to upload, because why wouldn't it be, it's so smooth and easy.
My perception is rather different here: Python Team: "DPT requires a pristine-tar branch" https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst Science Team: "It is recommended to use pristine-tar" https://science-team.pages.debian.net/policy/ Multimedia Team: "gbp clone --pristine-tar" https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging Also most of my uploads are new upstream versions.So maybe a good first step would be to reduce the pristine-tar usage in Debian.
