The solution is to do the sourceful upload without binaries, build the
binaries and upload the binaries without the source in the second
upload. Or just a .changes field to keep binaries like Mattia
suggests. Or as Johannes suggests, we require every package to have a
proper bootstrap process without cyclic or self build-deps, which the
buildds could then do via build profiles.

That already exists for dupload IIRC, not sure about dput/dput-ng though.
