If the packages are team-maintained, nothing is stopping you from bumping the revision with dch and do a build, sign, upload cycle. Indeed without source-only uploads you need to build it once. But that's scriptable. (And you can even cache the key's passphrase through gpg-agent.) Arch:all binNMUing will only work if you keep the invariant of version(arch:all) = version(source) in some way. IMHO sourceful uploading is the way to go, however, it's frown upon because those are in fact NMUs for packages you don't own. For Haskell that shouldn't be a problem, for others we might like to carve out a policy.
