The resulting state is a common out-of-course state in Debian, because
there are already many other reasons why there might be a tag on salsa
for an upload that never made it to the archive.
Some examples include NEW rejections, sponsorships, and even
networking failures.
The right way to deal with this is to the same thing as we do in all
these other cases:
* Report an error to the uploader (as we do)
* Have monitoring and QA systems (like tracker.d.o) detect it
and display a warning about it. (I don't know if they do.)
