A source upload isn't "just a rebuild" in Debian. It's an NMU and
requires building and testing the package with at least as much care
as
any other NMU would. It doesn't scale, it's a waste of resources
and
I'm not convinced that it's something that it's appropriate for the
Release Team to be doing on a regular basis.
while I agree with your other points, I wonder why doing a sourceful
upload without source changes, built in a clean environment such as
pbuilder, should require more testing than scheduling binNMUs, i.e.
none?
