This could be worked around by just showing the diff.gz and a link to
the upstream codebase; cases where the upstream codebase are repacked
would either have an appropriate target in debian/rules or require the
current process as a fallback.
But all of that said, it still needs trusted people to review the
packages, which is where we've traditionally started to have scaling
problems. [It's one of the cases where the work isn't particularly
visible until the people doing the work get overwhelmed, so they don't
get kudos, and only get complaints: a classic recipe for accelerated
burnout.]
