I have some automated scripts for this, completely with fetchign the package,
then extracting it, and marking it good or bad. I suggest a fast(or even
local) mirror, to facilitate it.
When I was working on this last weekend, I was running against all source
packages in sid, and uploading more often than I should have been.
As far as for me uploading a dpkg-dev which increased the source format
version, this is unstable, and people should learn to deal with unstable
breakage.
