All of the uploads got rejected because of a mismatched tarball. The fix was pretty easy - just grab the orig from the archives and rebuild, but it was definitely an added hassle that wasn’t a problem when using pristine-tar. Not really complaining, just wanted to add another datapoint. :)
This is normal when switching from pristine-tar to no-pristine-tar
without a new upstream release: the way the tarballs are generated is
not compatible and you need to get the original tarball from the
archive. After switching, this has never been an issue for me.
