Well, there some points where I have voiced my opinion to some Ubuntu
developers rather than here. I did not know debian-devel was the correct
place to send that.
1) No changes rebuild-only upload should still be versionned so that we
do not end up with two .deb with the same version but different
contents. Rebuilding a package with a newer toolchain can cause
different dependencies and bugs.
2) I find a bit odd to be called the maintainer of a package I did not
test and that I cannot change anyway.
3) The name of the Ubuntu developers which have tested the package
before uploading it is not mentionned in the case of a no-changes
upload. I am refraining from assuming there were none.
