I assume this would only happen if you push a signed tag. I wouldn't want
every random commit I push to immediately be uploaded. Constantly
releasable master branch is a nice goal, but I can't say that I always
follow it 100% nor want to be forced to. At that point, it just means
replacing some dput or dgit upload rune with some git push rune. (Well,
and dedicating some tag space, but hopefully most people who are using Git
for packaging are already tagging.)
