I will also generally prefer the PyPI tarballs for the packages I help 
maintain.  There’s good tooling for that and the tarballs are usually fine.  If 
not, and it’s fairly easy to DFSG them (e.g. via d/copyrights or some such), 
then I’ll go that route.  So far I haven’t had to pull things in from upstream 
git although once in a while I’ll just grab a file if needed.
