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:
Mine as well.
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
Debian Perl Group: https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/git.html(gbp with pristine-tar as the default, notwithstanding some other approaeches in individual packages.)
Also most of my uploads are new upstream versions.
