tarballs are fine, but not being able to discover new version directories is inconvenient. It requires updating the watch file in the Debian package for every new minor release. The gdal package for example uses download.osgeo.org where everything under /gdal is directory listable (and hence discoverable by uscan(1)). download.osgeo.org is not an option for grasss because it's not being updated, and grass.osgeo.org lacks a directory listing of all grass<MARJOR><MINOR> directories. If pushing new tags is not forgotten, using release tags from the git repository can be better. You just miss artefacts from `make dist`.
