I use apt source. I don't care about the unreleased untested changes that are
likely to be present on salsa.
At work I made a whole system to add patches to packages, and of course it
uses apt source, because using salsa is not possible to automate anything. And
we want what's in the archive + our patch, nothing else.
And we have an internal mirror of the archive. Salsa is slow.
If you want to contribute upstream, you follow the upstream procedure, and
salsa won't be involved.
So at least in my case, I never touch salsa if it's a non-debian activity.
