I like the idea that we should name this thing, but i'd call it
something like a "source-only upload with .buildinfo" or
"source+buildinfo upload" instead.

i tend to think "source-only" in this phrase applies to "upload",
meaning that the upload doesn't include binaries, and what i'm uploading
doesn't include binaries. i acknowledge that it also includes some
stuff that isn't actually sources, but this is true of normal
"source-only" uploads too -- for example, such uploads include
cryptographic signatures and selected elements of the changelogs, which
are also not sources.
