Hi Gunnar, that's a great suggestion!

I've been using NO_PKG_MANGLE=1 for testing, but was worried about what else we'd miss if pkgbinarymangler was completely disabled. I believe it is at least stripping debug symbols from our apt-hook binary and also trimming our changelog on older releases.

But like you say, it would be nice to avoid all these uploads. I'll do some tests today to see exactly what the impact will be. If it is small enough then we can probably just use NO_PKG_MANGLE=1 and save us some trouble :)
