I think that most of the people promoting building debian packages

the release tag have the identical contents, if there is a release

case.
Not at all: many of my packages indeed are built from their upstream
git repositories, which do not contain generated files, and neither me
nor the upstream developers are in any way interested about the
content of the Debian .orig.tar.xz file.
That is not a contradiction to what I am saying above.
