I usually do two dpkg-buildpackage, one for my system, and the source one for ftpmasters
the second one is usually really fast, because it just requires a source pack, no real building.
(probably you should try to upload something like hedgewars, with a +200MB binary, to understand
why you will like to avoid it :p)

only for new or bin-new queue, lots of stuff on mentors is a subsequent update with no
new binaries

sadly true

true, I sometimes upload for i386 for this reason :)
