I don't believe it makes any difference.  We already have 'dgit
push-source' which will do a source-only upload with a single command
invocation.  And if 'dgit push-source' errors out, that's equivalent to
tag2upload failing to upload and e-mailing you.

No, there is nothing additional being done.

Now we have salsa CI, though, we have various good options for automated
pre-upload testing.
