FWIW, until very recently I did something similar for all of my packages:
I pushed the commit as soon as I got the "ACCEPTED" message, then I waited
until the next day when my nearest mirror would catch up with unstable,
download the source package, diff it, and if everything was fine, only
then would I push the tag to the Git repo. Right now, this means that
there are a couple of my packages for which debaudit reports that
it could not find the Debian upload tag - because it was not there soon
after the package was accepted into the archive, it was only pushed
many hours later :)

Now I'm not saying that debaudit is wrong there, I mean, there might be
valid reasons for other people (who run e.g. `debcheckout` soon after
the new version is uploaded) to expect the tag to be there. I'm just
saying this is something that can happen in various workflows.

These days, if more people use tag2upload, of course that means
the tag will be there way before the package is accepted. However,
in various teams and in various people's personal workflows, there are
many different situations, many quirks, and some of them are not
outright wrong :)

G'luck,
Peter
