Absolutely not! (Hint: .orig.tar.gz, often several. And other
things. I don’t want to go into this in detail.)
Besides: dput is not the tool to push source-only uploads into.
dput is *also* used by people creating binary packages (and,
quite possibly, builders, although Debian buildd network uses
dupload) to publish them by their *.changes file into the target
repository.
dput is *also* used with a stanza like this…
[i]
method = local
incoming = /var/cache/pbuilder/result/incoming
allowed_distributions = .*
… to copy the result of cowbuilder to a staging directory,
or something else like that.
T̲h̲a̲t̲’s my point here.

Nah, reportbug with severity critical, and if that
doesn’t help, a local copy of the working dput with
an epoch, to override the one from Debian.
