> Perhaps your --via is simply the build-host for rpush. The use case is that it's useful to build debs locally, for testing, etc, but if only a source package is being uploaded, there's no point in uploading that from the local host, when it can be reconstituted from a git push. The remote host could be a personal machine, or a DD accessible machine. In the latter case, package uploads become entirely just a git push plus some triggering/signing actions. dgit on the remote machine would get the source tarball in the usual way, for uploads after -1. For native uploads, it could just make up any old tarball. For -1 uploads, pristine-tar could be used (but I have stopped maintaining that). dgit rpush is perhaps most of the way there. -- see shy jo
