This could be worked around by just showing the diff.gz and a link to the upstream codebase; cases where the upstream codebase are repacked would either have an appropriate target in debian/rules or require the current process as a fallback. But all of that said, it still needs trusted people to review the packages, which is where we've traditionally started to have scaling problems.
