This tool is almost exactly "dgit" and therefore already exists.  It
does parallel publication in the archive (.dsc) and git (signed tags).

The point of the tag2upload exercise is to move the .dsc generation
from the uploader's computer to a central service, because .dsc
generation is complicated, slow, and inconvenient.  So generating the
.dsc on the user's system defeats the object of the exercise.
