Apart from it being really a) ugly, b) subject to constant revision,
c) a premature optimisation, d) avoids future debhelper versions
fixing archive-wide problems, e) adds unnecessary noise to anyone reviewing
the package, f) increases the bus factor, etc. etc. 
 
> 2/ It's going to take some time (many packages).

There is no need to make specific uploads, but a script should surely
take only a few minutes.
