That seems plausible. I did build the source package along with the
binaries, just not with `dgit build`: I already have a build environment
I'm happy with, and I don't want to pass its options through too many
layers of "interpret some options and then pass the rest on". (Perhaps
I should start using `dgit build` for its convenient -v handling, but
that's not part of my workflow right now.)

If I got this wrong, the failure mode would be that dgit complains that
my .dsc doesn't match my git state and refuses to upload it, correct?
If so, I don't see that as a problem: I'm fine with limiting myself
to the category of changes that makes my git tree simple to deal with
(that goes with the patches-unapplied territory).
