Are you saying that you want to preserve dput as an upload option forever? Do you see a future where dput *isn't* the interface for uploading a new package? Let's assume that all the current blockers are fixed, e.g. source packages are fast to download, etc. I think at some point there should be only one way to do it. >2.

I wonder how this push-to-official-branch can work with package sets, and whether making upload-rights equivalent to push-rights helps provide a finer grained control over who can upload what packages. That's assuming you think better control over upload rights is a good thing. Being in a (hopefully short-term) limbo, I do. :) >3.

That's for cases where Debian uses a different tarball, for example, because upstream's has non-free elements to it. -Barry
