   My perception is rather different here:   
      
   Python Team:   
      
   "DPT requires a pristine-tar branch"   
      
   https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/m   
   ster/policy.rst   
      
   Science Team:   
      
   "It is recommended to use pristine-tar"   
      
   https://science-team.pages.debian.net/policy/   
      
   Multimedia Team:   
      
   "gbp clone --pristine-tar"   
      
   https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging   
      
   Also most of my uploads are new upstream versions.   
      
   So maybe a good first step would be to reduce the pristine-tar usage in    
   Debian.   
      
   Cheers Jochen
