Some of my packages just use the real upstream git tree as their 
upstream branch, so the upstream releases are already tagged using the 
upstream scheme.

Do not try to make other people change their workflows without evident 
benefits (pro tip: "standardization" in itself is not one) or they will 
be annoyed and just ignore your work.
