A source upload isn't "just a rebuild" in Debian. It's an NMU and
requires building and testing the package with at least as much care as
any other NMU would. It doesn't scale, it's a waste of resources and
I'm not convinced that it's something that it's appropriate for the
Release Team to be doing on a regular basis.
That certainly isn't the solution but just the state of things. And
fixing the tools to ensure M-A: same packages are binNMUed for all
architectures makes sense for the time being.
Please go and read
<[email protected]>, where I've
already explained that "fixing the tools" doesn't work.
