You don't, but the person signing the upload must upload a source+binary
rather than source only. And, because of a recent rule change, this
currently takes two uploads, at least until there's some infrastructure
to auto-rebuild which hasn't been agreed upon yet.
I've just tried to upload source-only anyway, and as expected, it failed.
Thus, we need to do it the hard way. Uploaded, in NEW. Let's get it
through before Christmas. :þ
Meow!
