And some weren't at Debconf and prefer to work with upstream
sources.

Isn't pristine-tar deprecated by its author? I read
https://bugs.debian.org/737871 and
http://www.preining.info/blog/2014/06/debian-pristine-tar-packaging/
and was therefore reluctant to use it. Anyway, I don't remember
to encounter any problems with pristine-tar myself.

Blaming and pointing fingers is almost always wrong :~)
