This is just a small list of points to keep in mind...
1. Be careful with upload queues. If you use an upload queue, the packages
are moved to ftp-master using someone else's userid. This means you cannot
overwrite them or remove them from ftp-master's incoming either, as the
queue daemon refuses to overwrite files (I haven't tested if it will
overwrite the .orig.tar.gz, though).
You may find yourself stuck with using upload queues for that package until
you finally manage to get the files installed (and therefore removed from
the incoming directory).
2. Pools do NOT allow you to fix a broken .orig.tar.gz upload. Once a
.orig.tar.gz is installed, it stays... and the only means of fixing a broken
one is to bump up the upstream version. This also means you can do a full
source upload only *once* for a given upstream version of a package. If you
try a second full-source upload, it will fail.
