I wasn't at Debconf, maybe this is why I'm a bit confused by what you wrote here. pristine-tar and upstream VCS merge are in no way mutually exclusive, but you seem to be implying that they are; did I misread what you wrote? pristine-tar just needs a commit to base the tar delta off of; this can be a tag created via git-import-orig, but it can just as easily be a tag pulled from upstream. (Using upstream tags *without* using pristine-tar would seem to be inadvisable, with the possible exception of upstreams who don't release tarballs, and/or sign all their release tags) > the DPMT.

I haven't seen anyone write "importing upstream VCS into the Alioth repo is forbidden" anywhere; if this is the intent, then perhaps it should be clearly spelled out somewhere. (Or perhaps it already is, and I just missed it?
