This will teach them to do a build before uploading. :-) In most cases, this is due to forgotten build depends, so this problem is quite orthogonal to source-only uploads. Such failures happen in Debian, too (however, not quite as often, since katie runs much more often in Ubuntu, so it's much more tempting to just throw it at a buildd and see what happens). It doesn't really hurt us right now, so we didn't start to force building packages in pbuilder. buildd time is cheap compared to developer time, so introducing mandatory pbuilding would slow down development quite drastically.
