I'm a bit concerned about the missing pristine-tar integration. From 
my understanding (which might be wrong) the following could happen:

- Person A imports a new upstream release (as a tarball from the 
  CPAN) and uploads the package with tag2upload.
- tag2upload in this case creates an *.orig.tar.gz not from the 
  pristine-tar branch but with git-deborig from one or another 
  upstream tag.
- Person B wants to upload a -2 revison and doesn't use tag2upload. 
  In this case their build system will generate an *.orig.tar.gz from 
  the pristine-tar branch and include its checksum in *.dsc file.
- And boom!, dak will reject the upload because different checksums.

Just my understanding right now, and I might be wrong, and I hope I 
am :) But currently I'm a bit unsure about using tag2upload 1) in a 
team which 2) works from upstream tarballs.
