As always, it's easier to add another abstraction layer and so generate
the (somewhat pointless) source package and upload that, rather than
modifying dak (and/or buildd) to handle two kinds of sources and source
tools.
I do agree it'd be better if we could just get rid of source packages,
but we're far from there yet, sadly.
