I assume that this problem does not exist for tarballs that have been
signed and uploaded by the maintainer.  This is only a problem for
auto-generated tarballs for tags, so it’s probably less than 449
packages.

This doesn’t seem like a bad idea.  It’s not great that we’ll have to
bootstrap the build systems for all these packages.
