Which "you" do you mean. I addressed Misha with the "you" above and
for the sponsee it is fine to ensure the build process once before he
hands over to the sponsor.

If the "you" is addressing the sponsor than I definitely agree that any
upload which is done to ftp.debian.org should be produced using pbuilder
and I'm doing so. But the sponsee is not uploading and so there is no
real need to always use pbuilder.
Kind regards
