For the case of PyPi releases, they are to be used using "pip install", which is what makes me think they are designed for this use case, and therefore are binary releases. > So, what do you do about upstreams that don't use git?

First of all, upstream not using git are the very few minority these days, so it's very rare cases to handle, and most of the time, it's upstream who aren't very active, so it's not really a big problem: I just use pristine-tar.
