I am not going to do that with a live package into the live archive from 
a live repository without understanding what happens and without ever 
having seen a real-life workflow that isn't some 
everything-so-fine-and-new-and-shiny-that-this-never-happens-in-reality 
corner case

I am especially concerned about this action flipping some switches 
either in my repository or in the archive that might prevent me from 
switching back to the classical workflow in the case I don't like the 
result.

I might try this with an extra upload to experimental right before 
switching to a new upstream version. That sounds like a reasonably safe 
point in package life to try.
