Still not? damn. It was presented in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/11/msg00001.html

and later argued that it would suffice to throw away debs in source
uploads and allow all binary only uploads (from buildds or porters
doesn't really matter). Looks like ftp-master didn't take to that.
Sorry to misinform but there is something to look forward too sometime
