Paul Tagliamonte had a nice idea on IRC:

  all DD keys are allowed all uploads,
      binaries dropped _iff_ there is a source component

This preserves the ability to upload a manual binNMU, which is not
common, but is useful and sometimes necessary.  (And not only for
bootstrapping an arch or a compiler.)
