The difference between pristine-tar and a tag is that pristine-tar is
the tarball, gzipped and all that. If you want to recreate the *exact*
same thing from a tag, that is considerably harder, as you need to have
just the right timestamps and various other things that affect the
result.

If you store the tarball too, recreating it becomes a lot more
straightforward.
