I know a lot of people do sourceful uploads in Ubuntu (all uploads are sourceful in Ubuntu and PPAs); I don't know of services doing it, but I guess things like buildserver.net might. These can actually call clean manually if they want to take the risk. I think it's not a problem to checkbuilddeps if you skip the test when -nc is passed: people will simply have to learn to "-S -nc" or "-S -d" if they want to clean (or "fakeroot debian/rules clean" manually, as I do). -- Loïc Minier
