Yes, that would be nice, but there are still open questions to
solve, e.g. how do you assure that the tag actually builds? This is
why we require at least one binary package with an upload, so that
the build daemons don't have to rake through broken packages and
their admins get annoyed.

I've raised this issue many times in the last 8 years. ;)
My last coherent writeup was
http://madduck.net/blog/2005.08.11:rcs-uploads/, and if you have any
new ideas, please let me know!

When I finish with my research in the weeks to come, I plan to set
up an amd64+i386 build daemon which can build your packages from
source. Then we can investigate this further.
