I found this a non-timeconsuming "setup"
/usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/B20autopkgtest
to run it in every pbuilder. Well, the *setup* is a non-brainer while
the test itself might take some time depending from the test.

I started using
opts="mode=git,pretty=0.0+git%cd.%h"
for missing release tags. Works out quite good and saves you
get-orig-source targets.

I tend to think that it is not a "must" but rather "good style" and
would not ask beginners to provide symbols files. I know there are
different opinions about this. It can be a real nuisance packaging wise
if it comes to different symbols on different architectures / compiler
versions and getting a package out first and doing "good style" later is
a valid approach in my opinion.
Kind regards
