No, this is correct. Some licenses require that we make source available
long after the binaries disappear, including the GPL. We haven't been
doing that, and one of the advantages of pools is that we can now.
Something done to make pre-versions easier isn't going to fix that problem
either. Something with a bad orig.tar.gz shouldn't get uploaded, if it
does you'll have to figure out what to do for that package and that one
alone.

I stopped a long time ago to try to find anything in the bug list of dpkg.
We should run for an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
