I think that most of the people promoting building debian packages from upstream git expect upsream to have the release tarballs and the release tag have the identical contents, if there is a release tarball in the first place. In my set of packages, this is a rare case.Not at all: many of my packages indeed are built from their upstream git repositories, which do not contain generated files, and neither me nor the upstream developers are in any way interested about the content of the Debian .orig.tar.xz file.
I like that this is a very simple workflow and that it allows to package random upstream snapshots with no extra work other than tagging the commit. My kmod package is a good example of this.
