This is a very narrow view. I often have local packages, I try
them out as experiments, and may well have different policies, build
depends, etc for when they are local, as opposed to when they are
uploaded by me to Debian.
If tweaking the design allows this wider usage, why should
we not do iut that way? ANd, incindetllay, I think one should have
origins be handled the same way dupload handles upload locations:
each origin could have its own preset BTS field, etc, and as long as
I am happy witht he defaults, I can switch from local + tested to
debian upload with no changes.
