Most of mine you already summarized below: even a package with perfect debian/ requires quite a lot of effort and more mental work than e.g. updating your own package so that you know what are you uploading; and uploading once means the maintainer will likely ask you for other uploads in the future and while that's totally correct from all points of view it's additional potential burden (especially as I failed to review private sponsorship requests in a reasonable time multiple times in the past). -- WBR, wRAR
